Iran is the first producer and exporter of Pistachio in the world. The research is on codification of advertisement strategies in coherence with the export of pistachio in Kerman province by SWOT model. Objectives of the research were determining the most important advertisement strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of Kerman exporting pistachio and proposing appropriate strategies. ...

the pistachio gardens in iran rival other countries with 280000 hectares and rank first in the world in terms of annual production 300,000 mts. ecological factors for pistachio planting favor the growth of aspergillus flavus which produce aflatoxin as secondary metabolites which reduces pistachio exports. it is important to control a. flavus and its aflatoxin production to increase pistachio ex...

Pistachio hull contains anacardic acids. It is a salicylic acid with side chain either saturated or unsaturated. This work focused on the efficient extraction of acids using solvent. Six aliquots were weighed and extracted hexane, ethyl acetate, mixture H2O/MeOH/HCl. Hexane was most solvent due to its ability dissolve Only one standard used quantify all them since does not affect wavelength gre...

Roasting is the most common way for pistachio nuts processing, and the purpose of that was to increase the products total acceptability. Purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of temperature (90, 120 and 150°C), time (20, 35 and 50 min), and roasting air velocity (0.5, 1.5 and 2.5 m/s) on geometrical attributes of pistachio nuts and kernels including principle dimensions, shape fac...

background: pistachio is a plant that has long been cultivated in different parts of iran. pistachios are very nutritious and contain vitamins e and b, flavonoids, antioxidants, and carotenoids. since the pistachio is effective in the treatment of some neurological disorders and is indigenous to iran and considering the substantial use of this nut, it is necessary to investigate its effects on ...

abstract in this study, fresh pistachio of 'ohadi' and 'akbari' cultivars expose to the uv-c radiation with a wavelength of 0, 3, 6 and 12 kj/m2, then located at temperature of 1 ± 3 degrees celsius for 45 days. properties or attributes, including weight loss, stiffness and sensory evaluation of fresh pistachio after 20 and 45 days storage were measured. results showed that pistachio nut weight...

In the current study with using of 553 questionnaires, knowledge of Kerman small pistachio growers regarding hygienic pistachio production especially aflatoxin was investigated. The results showed that factors such as high density of pistachio trees in the orchards and limited water resources are the main factors of creating potential of aflatoxin contamination in pistachio. These factors are n...

The essential oils of the fruits and the leaves of pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Fresh unripe pistachio fruits were richer in essential oil (0.5%, w/w) than the leaves (0.1%, w/w). Twenty one compounds were identified in the essential oil of the fruits and the major components were (+)-alpha-pinene (54.6%) and terpinolene (31.2%). The enantiomeric ratio of the majo...

Roasting of whole-kernels is an important step in the production of pistachio paste. The effect of hot air roasting temperatures (90-190°C) and times (5-65 min) on the hardness, moisture content and colour attributes (‘L’, ‘a’ and ‘b’ values and yellowness index) of both whole-kernel and ground-state were investigated using response surface methodology (RSM). Increases in roasting temperature a...
