Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) is the only edible and cultivated species. economically importance dioecious species in genus Pistacia. There are basic problems pistachio breeding such as flower structure, long juvenile period alternate bearing. These can be overcome not with classical methods, but modern molecular methods. In this study, very high numbers of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), ...

in order to study morphological variation within seeds and seedlings of a pistachio population of ‘badami-riz-e-zarand’, 20 quantitative traits were measured in sixty-seven nut and seedlings originated from them. results showed that there was positive and significant correlation between traits of nuts (seeds) and kernels, not between seedling height and crown diameter. according to measured par...

extraction of oil from poor quality pistachios results in increased add-value. in this study, the performance of different solvents in recovery of valuable oil and meal from the pistachio sample contaminated with aflatoxin was investigated and some chemical properties of the extracted oil were determined. the pistachio nut oil was extracted by three solvent systems including n-hexane (non- pola...

BACKGROUND Managing cardiovascular risk factors is important for reducing vascular complications in type 2 diabetes, even in individuals who have achieved glycemic control. Nut consumption is associated with reduced cardiovascular risk; however, there is mixed evidence about the effect of nuts on blood pressure (BP), and limited research on the underlying hemodynamics. This study assessed the e...

Pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) cultivation under rainfed conditions of the South Mediterranean has not been studied in depth. Under changing climate conditions, knowledge cultivar and rootstock performances allows for optimal use genetic resources to improve yield nut quality. This study aimed evaluate growth, yield, fruit characteristics ‘Mateur’ ‘Achouri’ pistachio cultivars grafted on P. atlan...

background: the pistachio is a nut produced by about 20 species of shrub. present-day studies show the health benefits of pistachio in preventing or treating diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases (cvds), cancer, multiple sclerosis (ms), and erectile dysfunction. materials and methods: medline / pubmed, and google scholar databases were searched using the keywords of pistacia vera, ...

Abstract Virgin olive oil is considered a key component of the Mediterranean Diet, while nut and seed “cold‐pressed” oils stand out as an interesting ingredient due to growing consumer demand toward so‐called gourmet healthy oils. The main objective this work development characterization novel virgin vegetal based on blendings with obtained from seeds (sesame flaxseed) nuts (hazelnut pistachio)...

There is not much information on the prevalence of tree nut allergy in populations, and reports vary in the methods of data collection as well as the ages of the study populations. The few reports available indicate that in the United States, an allergy to tree nuts affects about 0.5% of the population.1 In Canada, the number is 1.22%;2 in the United Kingdom, the number varies from 1.4%3 to 2.2...

introduction : pistachio (pistaciavera l.) is a tasty nut and a good source of nutrients. ithas a high content of numerous beneficial nutritive and bioactive compounds such as proteins, carbohydrate, moisture, vitamins, minerals, fiber and other micronutrients compounds, but the most exceptional components are the amount of fats and especially unsaturated fatty acids. therefore, this nut is hig...

pistachio nut (pistacia vera l.) is one of the most delicious and nutritious nuts in the world. in order to increase the added value of the pistachio nuts, it is necessary to develop new products to meet consumer needs. this is the first paper on pistachio halva. the product was developed using pistachio paste (as main ingredient), mixture of sugar-glucose, egg white and citric acid. the effect...
