background and objectives: nowadays, considerable to food biodegradable and edible packaging increased. synthetic packaging due to the problems environment edible coating are thin layer of material which are on the surface of food products and increased the shelf life of foodstuff by providing a moisture and oxygen barrier. edible coatings might be used as carriers of various substances, includ...

Pistacia vera L. is the only species of Pistacia genus producing edible nuts. This paper investigates the antioxidant potential of a Sicilian variety of pistachio nut by chemical as well as biological assays and measured antioxidant vitamins and a number of antioxidant polyphenols in either the hydrophilic and/or the lipophilic nut extract. In accordance with the majority of foods, the total an...

The pine nut from the stone pine (Pinus pinea L.) is the most important edible fruit in mediterranean forests. Despite this fact, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the application of agronomy techniques in stands of this species to increase pine nut production. Our study focuses on the effect of mineral fertilization on cone production and size, which in turn, are closely related to nut yi...

J. regia were performed determine total am...

The Amazon region contains the world’s leading genetic reserve of native plants, with most area located in Brazil. This is rich species that little known or still unknown by population at large, including produce non-timber forest products (NTFPs) such as edible nuts. objective was to verify occurrence these nuts Brazil, evaluate their potential and possibility other uses, addition expanding kn...

In this study, we measured the composition and free radical scavenging activity of several species of nuts, namely, Torreya grandis, Carya cathayensis,and Myrica rubra. The nut kernels of the aforementioned species are rich in fatty acids, particularly in unsaturated fatty acids, and have 51% oil content. T. grandis and C. cathayensis are mostly produced in ZheJiang province. The trace elements...

The diversity of climate, from subarctic to subtropical, and the complex geological history of Japan have produced a rich biodiversity. The flora includes several hundred species of native woody plants with edible fleshy fruits or nuts. People have eaten them from prehistoric times until about a half century ago. In Hokkaidō and the Ryūkyū Islands nut species had an important role in the diet, ...
