This study investigated the composition of volatile compounds in two pummelo cultivars, including 'Shatian' and 'Guanxi', cultivated in different regions of China with the aim of studying the effect of cultivar and cultivation condition on biosynthesis of volatile compounds in pummelo. Volatile compounds were extracted from pummelo juice using head-space microextraction and then analyzed using ...

to find the effects of spring foliar application of volck® mineral oil and its combination with fertilizer on the physiological, yield and quality characteristics of pistachio fruit, this research was done in the form of a randomized complete block design (rcbd) of 12 treatments and 3 replications on ohadi pistachio cultivar in chatrud of kerman in 2006 and 2007 for a duration of two years. the...

Two cultivars Buram-3-ho (susceptible) and CR-Hagwang (moderate resistant) of kimchi cabbage seedlings showed differential defense responses to anthracnose (Colletotrichum higginsianum), black spot (Alternaria brassicicola) and black rot (Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, Xcc) diseases in our previous study. Defense-related hormones salicylic acid (SA), jasmonic acid (JA) and ethylene led ...

the genetic diversity of a large number of pistachio genotypes grown in iran is not exactly known. most of the studies on genetic diversity of iranian pistachio varieties are based on morphological characteristics or isozyme markers. in the present study, the genetic diversity of selected pistachio cultivars along with some wild species were evaluated by amplified fragment length polymorphism (...

pistachio nut (pistacia vera l.) is one of the popular and nutritious tree nuts in the world. pistachio spread is a new product which is made from pistachio paste, icing sugar, soy protein isolate (spi), and red palm oil (rpo). this study involved sensory acceptability (by 32 assessors) using hedonic scale and development of suitable terminology for describing pistachio spread using quantitativ...

Heterodera mediterranea completes embryogenic development in 15-18 days at 24 +/- 2 C. On olive and pistachio seedlings the postembryogenic development was completed in 42-50 days at 24-30 C. Juveniles and adults have semiendoparasitic habits and do not penetrate completely into the root tissue. This cyst forming nematode has been detected only on Olea europaea, Pistacia lentiscus, and P. vera....

in this research effectiveness of immersing three types of contaminated pistachios fresh with hull (exocarp or epicarp), dried in shell and dried with hull from ohady cultivar in ozonated water 0 ppm (control), 4 and 8 ppm ozone concentrations in aqueous solution for range of exposure times 0(control), 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and12 hours, to decrease of aflatoxin (b1, b2, g1, g2 and total) were investig...

Human beings have known about pistachio nuts since 6000 bc. Since then, pistachios have been systematically incorporated into the diet of various cultures. They are nutrient-dense nuts with a healthy nutritional profile that contains fiber, unsaturated fatty acids and antioxidant compounds.

successful export of a commodity is closely dependent upon observing the related international standards. aflatoxin standard is an important index of pistachio import/export market. a lot of pistachio consignments are annually rejected because of being infected with aflatoxin. this results in export market's instability and fluctuations. the role of aflatoxin contammination in pistachio ma...
