Opting an appropriate dietary regime has been and will be one of the simplest ways of providing health for and preventing disorders of human beings. Cardiovascular diseases-one of the most prevalent causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide-are in particular related to diet. Atherosclerosis, the most common pathogenic process of cardiovascular disease, is closely connected with food ingredien...

Three-dimensional models built for the peanut Ara h 2 allergen and other structurally-related 2S albumin allergens of dietary nuts exhibited an overall three-dimensional fold stabilized by disulphide bridges well conserved among all the members of the 2S albumin superfamily. Conformational analysis of the linear IgE-binding epitopes mapped on the molecular surface of Ara h 2 showed no structura...

An analysis of genetic structure and differentiation in cultivated walnut (Juglans regia) using 15 microsatellite loci revealed a considerable amount of genetic variation with a mild genetic structure indicating five genetic groups corresponding to the centers of diversity within the home range of walnut in Eurasia. Despite the narrow genetic differentiation among groups accounting for only 10 ...

Simulation can be used to visualize the mechanical classification of walnuts. It collect microscopic information about walnuts in roller and guide its optimization design. In this process, simulation parameters are essential factors that ensure effectiveness simulation. study, crucial thin-skinned walnut particles were determined by combining discrete element method (DEM) physical tests. Firstl...

Walnut research in France is carried out by scientists employed by the Centre Technique Interprofessionel des Fruits et Legumes (CTIFL) and the Institute National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA). (The Association Foret-Cellulose (AFOCEL) which has been active in research on walnut propagation is terminating their walnut project this year.) CTIFL focuses on applied research and technology tra...

Serr variety to which all rootstocks were (!.raftedhas grown and produced on all rootstock selections although some have grown faster and produce more than others. Northern California Black Walnut (Juglans hindsii) and ~. major grow to moderate size and have good production potential. The paradox seedling, paradox cutting and Royal seedling grow to large size and have a good production potentia...

On farm walnut drying is often a major bottle neck during the start of walnut harvest. The recommended maximum drying air temperature for English walnuts is 110 of. This limit is based on tests by university personnel during the introduction of heated air drying (Batchelor, 1924) which demonstrated that long term exposure to temperatures higher that 110°F caused walnuts to turn rancid. This pro...

BACKGROUND Compared with other common plant foods, walnuts (Juglans regia) are consistently ranked among the highest in antioxidant capacity. In vitro, walnut polyphenols inhibit plasma and LDL oxidation, while in animal models they lower biomarkers of oxidative stress and raise antioxidant capacity. A limited number of human feeding trials indicate that walnuts improve some measures of antioxi...
