nowadays, the separation of pistachios which seem to have aflatoxin is done according to their organoleptic physical qualities like color and etc. as these methods are not  fully practical, and there is always a possibility of error and also the conditions like the wrong time harvest, the transportation of picked pistachios, the delay on the processing cause some contaminations in pistachios wh...

A knowledge basedsy system

Objective(s): Nanocomposite active packaging systems were used to prepare antimicrobial and antifungal properties. This study was to investigate the physical and antimicrobial activity of prepared films against three types of aflatoxin producing fungi Aspergillus Flavus. Material and methods: For investigating the effect of antibacterial nano-covers, the direct contact of 0, 1%, 3% and 5%...

Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.; Anacardiaceae) is native of aride zones of Central and West Asia and distributed throughout the Mediterranean basin. In Italy, a pistachio cultivar of high quality is typical of Bronte (Sicily), an area around the Etna volcano, where the lava land and climate allow the production of a nut with intense green colour and aromatic taste, very appreciated in internationa...

Nano packaging is currently one of the most important topics in food packaging technologies. The aim of the application of this technology in food packaging is increasing shelf life of foods by preventing internal and external corruption and microbial contaminations. Use of silver nanoparticles in food packaging has recently attracted much attention. The aim of this study was to investigate the...

Pistachio is a shelled fruit from the anacardiaceae family. The homeland of pistachio Middle East. Kirmizi pistachios and Siirt are major types grown exported in Turkey. Since prices, tastes, nutritional values these differs, type becomes important when it comes to trade. This study aims identify two pistachios, which frequently Turkey, by classifying them via convolutional neural networks. Wit...

Can farmers adapt to climate change by altering effective weather conditions on their fields? Existing technologies allow cool down plants a few degrees during critical periods, reducing the damage from excess heat. With nonlinear effects of high temperatures yields, slight cooling can bring significant gains in many crops. We call this approach “microclimate engineering” (MCE) and note that it...
