Hazelnuts are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and antioxidant bioactive substances: their consumption has been associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease events. A systematic review and a meta-analysis was performed to combine the results from several trials and to estimate the pooled (overall) effect of hazelnuts on blood lipids and body weight outcomes. Specifically, a Bay...

Halyomorpha halys Stål, the brown marmorated stink bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is an invasive pest with established populations in Oregon. The generalist feeding habits of H. halys suggest it has the potential to be a pest of many specialty crops grown in Oregon, including hazelnuts, Corylus avellana L. The objectives of this study were to: 1) characterize the damage to developing hazelnut k...

Hazelnuts are usually propagated by suckers or layering. However, other methods of propagation have been tested with variable results. Grafting is a method that has a few advantages such as fast multiplication rate, earlier fruiting and reducing sucker removal cost on specific rootstocks. Unfortunately, grafting is difficult due to slow formation of callus in hazelnuts. Here, we report the hypo...

Phenolic compounds, flavonoids, anti-radical activity, and restorative power are found in walnuts, pecans, almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, macadamia, peanuts. The highest content of phenolic substances the studied nuts was walnuts (536.6 mg gallic acid per 100 g dry matter), pistachios (512.9 matter) pecans (377.6 matter). Wild hazel contains 1.4 times more compared to hazelnuts 4.2 flavonoids. In...

The genomes of two strains of Salmonella enterica subsp. enterica serovar Cubana and serovar Muenchen, isolated from dry hazelnuts and chia seeds, respectively, were sequenced using the Illumina MiSeq platform, assembled de novo using the overlap-layout-consensus method, and aligned to their respective most identical sequence genome scaffolds using MUMMER and BLAST searches.

Abstract The aim of the study was to compare effectiveness use low-peak chromatographic fingerprints for differentiation various food products. Three groups unprocessed products (mushrooms, hazelnuts and tomatoes), preparations (bread, dried herbs tomato juice) alcoholic beverages (vodka two types blended whiskey) were examined. A commercial electronic nose based on ultrafast gas chromatography...

Methods nCor a 8 was purified from raw hazelnuts by precipitation and chromatographical steps. Subsequently, the protein was identified by N-terminal sequencing and mass spectrometry. Stability of the protein was investigated by simulated gastric and duodenal digestion assays. Hazelnut lipids were extracted employing the hexane method. Finally, IgE binding activity of native and reduced/alkylat...
