Inflammation is one mechanism through which cancer is initiated and progresses, and is implicated in the etiology of other conditions that affect cancer risk and prognosis, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and visceral obesity. Emerging human evidence, primarily epidemiological, suggests that walnuts impact risk of these chronic diseases via inflammation. The published literatur...

Monoculture frequently causes loss of soil nutrients and the emergence soil-borne diseases in walnut orchards, whereas it is unknown whether sod culture with Vicia villosa (a popular agroforestry system) orchards impacts structural composition diversity fungal communities. Fungal communities cover plant V. were investigated this work utilizing high-throughput sequencing ITS, as well examination...

Since impurities produced during walnut processing can cause serious harm to human health, strict quality control must be carried out production. However, most detection equipment still uses photoelectric technology automatically sort heterochromatic particles, which is unsuitable for detecting endogenous foreign bodies with similar colors. Therefore, this paper proposes an improved YOLOv4 deep...

Nuts are part of a healthy diet such as Mediterranean diet. Benefits of nuts in reducing the risk of heart disease has been reasonably attributed to their composition of vitamins, minerals, unsaturated fatty acids, fiber and phytochemicals such as polyphenols, tocopherols, squalene and phytosterols. More than 75% of total fatty acids of nuts are unsaturated. αtocopherol is the main tocopherol i...

The rancidification of walnuts was promoted by storing shelled kernels at 38°C for 4 weeks. Of six varieties tested, only 'Howard' and 'Chandler' kernels went rancid during this period. Their deterioration was preceded by the appearance of lipase (an oil digesting enzyme) in kernels and an accumulation of free fatty acids in the oil. The implications and limitations of these observations are di...
