Macauba palm (Acrocomia aculeata L.) fruits are emerging sources to produce high-quality oils from pulp and kernels. Yet, the protein-rich press cake kernels remains underutilized, mainly due lacking knowledge of protein composition properties. Therefore, our aim was characterize main fractions The globulins were major fraction (58.5% storage proteins), which further separated into 11 S 7 globu...

after harvesting, pistachio nuts are generally kept in storage before being exported. during handling, thenuts are exposed to external forces that cause mechanical damage to them. the increase of the mechanicaldamage is a function of storage conditions, especially temperature. this research investigated the effect ofstorage temperature (25, 5, -5, -15°c), on the mechanical properties of pistach...

in this research the quality of walnut kernels under impact loading were studied. due to unavailability of specific varieties of walnut in iran, the tests were carried out on the available genotypes. three different genotypes from walnut orchards of azarshar region were selected and were collected in 2009. a drop test device was designed and constructed to perform the experiments. the impact te...

In this study, the effects of coatings made of chitosan (Chi) incorporating thyme essential oil (TEO) on lipid oxidation and changing color indexes of walnut kernels were investigated. Chi: pure, in accompany with TEO at concentrations of 500 and 1000 microliter per liter, in an aqueous coating solution, with different packaging methods: Gunny sack, polypropylene and active packaging, compared ...

Apricot fruits are a favorite for consumption; however, their kernels rich source of nutritionally interesting substances, too. Nevertheless, in processing apricots, the remain often unused. In this study, 32 cultivars different origin were analyzed protein content and secondary metabolites (phenolics flavonoids). The weight taste assessed these data summarized an evaluation attractiveness stud...

This paper is devoted to the analysis of non-standard semantic shifts in adjectives and adverbs. Under non-standard semantic shifts I understand meaning changes, which can’t be described as metaphor or metonymy. Here are some examples of the semantic shifts in question, cf.: bittere Schokolade ‘bitter chocolate’ vs. bitterer Hunger ‘very strong hunger’ hübsches Mädchen’nice girl’ vs. hübsch kal...
