light, amber and dark colored kernels were rated by eye on a scale of 3 different genotypes (zh1, zh2 and zh3). the oil content was measured using the soxhlet extraction method, ranged from 57.26 to 68.29%, for zh1 (light) and zh2 (amber) respectively. fatty acid compositions were measured using gas chromatography. the main fatty acids were linoleic, oleic and linolenic acids, respectively. als...

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a fruit marketed worldwide. It third exported by Côte d’Ivoire with 10000-15000 tons for annual production among 150000 tons. The by-products of mango such as kernel almonds are not pratically valued. Therefore, this work aims to determine phytochemical compound and evaluate antimicrobial activity extracts from varieties Kent Keitt. Aqueous hydroethanolic were pre...

Branch/tree-level measurements of carbon (C)-acquisition provide an integration of the physical and biological processes driving the C gain of all individual leaves. Most research dealing with the interacting effects of high-irradiance environments and soil-induced water stress on the C-gain of fruit tree species has focused on leaf-level measurements. The C-gain of both sun-exposed leaves and ...

BACKGROUND Evidence consistently shows that almond consumption beneficially affects lipids and lipoproteins. Almonds, however, have not been evaluated in a controlled-feeding setting using a diet design with only a single, calorie-matched food substitution to assess their specific effects on cardiometabolic risk factors. METHODS AND RESULTS In a randomized, 2-period (6 week/period), crossover...

The almond is native to Iran and surrounding countries as well Asia. In 2017, world production of almonds was 2.2 million tones, with the United States providing 46% total. According FAO Afghanistan one 10 top producers almonds. study examined growth instability area, production, export consumption in from 2000 2017. Exponential function fitted estimate compound annual rates (CAGR) almond, Cudd...

BACKGROUND Plant cell walls are known to influence the rate and extent of lipid release from plant food tissues during digestion; however, the effect of cell wall structure on postprandial lipemia is unknown. OBJECTIVE The objective was to investigate the effects of lipid release (bioaccessibility) on postprandial lipemia by comparing lipid encapsulated by cell walls with lipid present as fre...

AIMS To evaluate factors potentially contributing to the long-term persistence of Salmonella enterica serovar Enteritidis phage type (PT) 30 in an almond orchard. METHODS AND RESULTS Surface and subsurface soil temperatures, and air temperatures in a radiation shelter, were recorded during a 12-month period, and were used to identify relevant storage temperatures (20 or 35 degrees C) for micr...
