Recently, the cultivation of hazel is undergoing a large expansion. Italy world’s second largest producer hazelnuts, with production around 98,530 tons in 2019. The processing hazelnuts produces amounts waste, especially woody pericarps, due to cracking process, generally used for domestic heating, causing air pollution. high lignin content present pericarps makes them suitable substrate edible...

BACKGROUND Hazelnut (Corylus avellana) allergy exhibits age and geographically distinct sensitization patterns that have not yet been fully resolved. OBJECTIVE To study sensitization to Cor a 11 in different age groups of hazelnut-allergic patients and infants with atopic dermatitis (AD) sensitized to hazelnut in a birch-endemic region. METHODS Sera from 80 hazelnut-allergic patients, 33 in...

BACKGROUND Oil body-associated allergens such as oleosins have been reported for important allergenic foods such as peanut, sesame and hazelnut. Here we investigate whether oil body associated proteins (OAPs) are linked with specific clinical phenotypes and whether they are represented in skin prick test (SPT) reagents. METHODS A hazelnut OAP fraction was characterized by mass-spectrometry (M...

The present work concerns the experimental evaluation of hazelnut shells as a low cost natural biosorbent. Adsorption of the direct azo dye Congo Red was performed within a concentrations range of 50-5000 mg/L. Hazelnut shells were employed as organic support for Phanerochaete chrysosporium cultures to study the best cultural medium composition for the MnP production. The capability of Phaneroc...

The fraudulent addition of hazelnut oil to more expensive olive oil not only causes economical loss but may also result in problems for allergic individuals as they may inadvertently be exposed to potentially allergenic hazelnut proteins. To improve consumer safety, a rapid and sensitive direct biosensor immunoassay, based on a highly specific monoclonal antibody, was developed to detect the pr...

________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract This study was performed to investigate the effects of different oils in the diets of laying quail on their performance, egg quality, serum lipids and fatty acid composition of egg yolk. One hundred and ninety two 12-wk old Japanese quail were allocated to eight groups with two replicates containing 12 qua...

Food allergies to hazelnut represent an important health problem in industrialized countries because of their high prevalence and severity. Food allergenicity can be changed by several processing procedures since food proteins may undergo modifications which could alter immunoreactivity. High-hydrostatic pressure (HHP) is an emerging processing technology used to develop novel and high-quality ...

BACKGROUND Clinically it is recognized that tree nut allergies such as hazelnut allergy are not usually outgrown. Specific mechanisms underlying the persistence of such food allergies are incompletely understood. Here we studied the natural history and the long-term immune and clinical characteristics of hazelnut allergy in an adjuvant-free mouse model. METHODS BALB/c mice were sensitized to ...

Hazelnut fruit samples were collected over 2 years (2020 and 2021) subjected to four different drying temperatures (100, 120, 140, 160 °C) times of 15, 30, 45, 60 min using conduction drying. The analyses performed showed that at had a significant effect on the change in composition hazelnut shell fuel its mass properties. Comparing untreated two after drying, it can be seen 2020, treatment cau...

Pseudomonas avellanae (Pav) has been reported as the causal agent of bacterial decline and bacterial canker of hazelnut in Italy and Greece, respectively. Both hazelnut diseases were reported to be similar in terms of symptoms, severity and persistence. In this study, we found that both symptomatic and asymptomatic trees in the field were colonized by Pav. Multilocus Sequence Typing (MLST) anal...
