Pistachios are rich in health-promoting bioactive compounds such as B vitamins, γ-tocopherol, polyphenols and dietary fiber, which could contribute to the reduction of colon cancer risk in terms of chemoprevention (Fischer, S.; Glei, M. Health-Potential of Nuts. Ernaehrungs Umsch. Int. 2013, 60, 206-215.). Since pistachios are often consumed roasted, the present study aims at investigating the ...

Objective In this study, the levels and antioxidant activities of some secondary metabolites isolated from five pistachio (Pistacia vera) cultivars collected from four different geographical regions of Iran, were studied. Materials and Methods Total phenolic compounds levels were determined by Folin-Ciocalteu method. Total flavonoid content was determined as AlCl3 complex and expressed as mg ...

To get a better understanding of the mating behavior of the navel orangeworm, Amyelois transitella (Walker), we developed a robust laboratory colony derived from larvae collected in Bakersfield, California and fed on dried, roasted pistachio. In the lab at 25 degrees C, most of the mating activity was observed during the last hour of the scotophase and for the first 30 min of the photophase. Fe...

P. atlantica subsp. Kurdica, with the local name of Baneh, is a wild medicinal plant which grows in Kurdistan, Iran. The identification of resistance gene analogs holds great promise for the development of resistant cultivars. A PCR approach with degenerate primers designed according to conserved NBS-LRR (nucleotide binding site-leucine rich repeat) regions of known disease-resistance (R) genes...

Pistachio shell powder supported nano-zerovalent copper (ZVC@PS) material prepared by borohydride reduction was characterized using SEM, FTIR, XRD, TGA/DTA, BET, and XPS. XPS revealed the to consist of a core-shell structure with CuO Cu(0) core particle size 40–100 nm spherical morphology aggregated on PS biomass. ZVC@PS found contain 39% (w/w %) Cu onto pistachio Batch sorption Cr(VI) from aqu...

In the current study, we investigated role of camel milk and pistachio in muscle growth rats with cancer-induced sarcopenia. Female Sprague Dawley weighing 180 – 200 grams were selected for a bioefficacy trial 13 weeks divided into four groups: G1 (negative control), G2 (positive G3 (normal diet + milk), G4 based product). Tumors induced by administering 50 mg/kg 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene ...
