BACKGROUND There exist several reports of atopy and allergen-specific IgE-mediated hypersensitivity transferred by bone marrow transplantation, and it has been concluded that the transfer of allergic reactivity results from adoptive transfer of IgE-producing donor-derived B- and/or plasma cells. To the best of our knowledge we report the first case of peanut allergy after PBSCT. CASE PRESENTA...

Stu~1ies on ,the mechanism of stereoselectivity of chromIUm tncarbonyl catalysts -with model com~ounds provided the basis for the preparation of sImulated fats. These synthetic fats were prepared by .taking advantage of the unique property of chromIUm carbonyl complexes to catalyze hydrogenation of polyunsaturates to cis-~onoui.I­ saturates. Oils simulating the composition of peanut oil were pr...

A visualization of testing apparatus was developed to measure property of oilseeds relevant to physical mechanics during mechanical pressing for oil extraction. Stress-strain relationships were measured for extruded peanut, soybean, sesame and linseed compressed at thirteen pressures under uniaxial cold pressing. The prediction model of the stress-strain relationship was developed based on BP n...

The effect of heat treatments (boiling, autoclaving, microwave cooking and roasting) on the levels of certain antinutritional factors (phytic acid, trypsin inhibitor, α-amylase inhibitor, lectin activity and tannins) and in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD) of peanut and sesame seeds were investigated. All heat treatments significantly reduced the levels of all the investigated antinutrients a...

Peanut quality parameters were analyzed across four irrigation levels during the 2002 through 2007 crop years. The peanut quality parameters consisted of total sound mature kernels and sound splits (farmer stock grade), shelling outturn by commercial edible size, accept and reject kernels by commercial edible size, seed germination, and aflatoxin. The four irrigation levels consisted of a full ...

peanuts, an oilseed crop, contain about 46% oil. the peanut shell can be used as fuel or pallets and its dry matter as feedstuff. the whole pods consist of 1-6 kernels. shelling is done at harvest time when the pod moisture content is 5-10%. in this research, a peanut sheller was designed and developed to separate the shell from the pod. the sheller included a hopper, sheller cylinder, concave,...

SQUAMOSA promoter-binding protein-like (SPL) proteins play crucial roles in plant growth, development, and responses to environmental stressors. The peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a globally important oil crop. In this study, we cloned the full-length cDNA of 15 SPLs in the peanut by transcriptome sequencing and rapid amplification of cDNA ends, and analyzed their genomic DNA sequences. cDNA l...

Peanut seeds are currently widely used as source of human food ingredients in the United States of America and in European countries due to their high quality protein and oil content. This article describes the classification and molecular biology of peanut seed allergens with particular reference to their cross-reactivities. Currently, the IUIS allergen nomenclature subcommittee accepts 12 pea...

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a major species of the family, Leguminosae, and economically important not only for vegetable oil but as a source of proteins, minerals and vitamins. It is widely grown in the semi-arid tropics and plays a role in the world agricultural economy. Peanut production and productivity is constrained by several biotic (insect pests and diseases) and abiotic (drought, s...
