The influence of pH of walnut oil emulsions on droplet morphology, droplet size distribution, time and temperature stability, and rheological properties has been studied. It has been found that walnut oil based emulsions form a metastable gel-like microstructure at steady conditions revealed by a linear viscoelastic response at low deformations. Flow curves of investigated emulsions demonstrate...

This study was done to investigate the interaction effect of the mixture of each pair of traditional medicinal plants including: Sage (Salvia officinalis), Hawthorn (Crataegusoxyacantha), Walnut Leaf (Juglansregia L.), Red Cabbage (Brassica oleracea), and Yellow Sweet Clover (Melilotus officinalis) on the antioxidant activities and free radical scavenging by using DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhy...

The primary goal of the Walnut Improvement Program, which was initiated in 1982 as a cooperative effort between USDA-ARS and U.C. Davis, is to develop germplasm with increased resistance or tolerance to the two major diseases limiting commercial production of Persian walnuts. These are the blackline and the Phytophthora root and crown rot diseases. Also under the auspices of this program are th...

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) is a tree with significant economic value and usage for human health and various food industries. However, fresh walnut kernels are a less widespread product than the dried kernels. This study aimed to determine the fresh walnut kernel properties including, fatty acid composition, proximate composition, total phenolics (TPs), total antioxidant capacity (TAC), acidic, p...

Walnut (Juglans regia L.) were evaluated for some physical properties and chemical composition. Ripe fruits were determined for moisture (2.71 %), crude protein (14.6 %) crude fibre (1.8 %) ash (1.57 %), crude energy (576 Cal) ether soluble extract (24.71 %), nut (10.5 g) and kernel (5.09 g) veights. Relative density, refractive index, free fatty acids, peroxide value, saponification number, un...

Historically “Lightweight Cryptography” has focused on symmetric schemes, yet asymmetric methods can also work effectively in these environments. Specifically, the Walnut Digital Signature Algorithm (WalnutDSA) provides a public-key signature scheme that verifies signatures significantly faster than ECC in both software and hardware, even in small, constrained environments and is resistant to a...

In a young walnut orchard planted on black walnut rootstock, and stunted as a result of root lesion nematode feeding treatments are being applied in an effort to invigorate tree growth and/or significantly reduce the nematode population. Treatments began in 1989 and include: (1) Spring grafting two paradox seedlings to the existing trees trunk (llinarching")i(2) application of Nemacur 3 nematoc...
