roasting has considerable effects on the quality of cream made of nuts. in this study, the roasting conditions of walnut kernels were optimized based on the stability parameters of the produced cream. temperatures of 100-150°c for 10-30 minutes were used to roast walnut kernels. the amount of oil separation, peroxide, acidity and thiobarbituric acid values of the cream, as well as color paramet...

Tree nuts are rich in macro and micronutrients, phytochemicals, tocopherols and phenolic compounds. The development of nut spreads would potentially increase the food uses of nuts and introduce consumers with a healthier, non-animal breakfast snack food. Nut spreads are spreadable products made from nuts that are ground into paste. Roasting and milling (particle size reduction) are two importan...

The physicochemical and sensory properties of peanut spreads fortified with soy flour were studied. Peanut spreads were replaced by whole soybean flour and soy nut flour at 0, 5, 15, 20 and 30% (w/w). All samples were analyzed for fat, protein, sugar, moisture content, adhesiveness, cohesiveness, hardness and sensory characteristics. Replacing peanut spread with soy flour had significant effect...

The discovery that chimpanzees in Cameroon use stone tools reinvigorates a long-standing puzzle: what explains the geographical distribution of chimpanzee traditions? In 1844 a missionary to Liberia called Thomas Savage claimed that wild chimpanzees crack nuts ''with stones precisely in the manner of human beings'' [1]. More than a century later he was proved right. In certain locations chimpan...

pistachio nut (pistacia vera l.) is one of the popular and nutritious tree nuts in the world. pistachio spread is a new product which is made from pistachio paste, icing sugar, soy protein isolate (spi), and red palm oil (rpo). this study involved sensory acceptability (by 32 assessors) using hedonic scale and development of suitable terminology for describing pistachio spread using quantitativ...

BACKGROUND Oral cancer is the most common cancer in Indian males and is the third most common cancer in Indian females. Tobacco, alcohol, areca nut, and human papillomavirus (HPV) are the common etiologic factors. Each of these agents follows a unique model of carcinogenesis that leads to a certain distinct presentation and behavior. For example, HPV is strongly associated with oropharyngeal ca...

This was the second year of a study which evaluated the genetic variation among English walnut germplasm in response to infection by Xanthomonas campestris pv. juqlandis (Xcj), the bacterium which causes the disease walnut blight. Immature leaves and nuts of 10 walnut accessions representing the breadth of currently available germplasm were inoculated. Leaves were scored for disease severity at...

Tree nuts and groundnuts nowadays are gaining popularity due to their health benefits. Nut kernels that can be eaten raw or roasted becoming increasingly popular in healthy diet, including canarium nut. Therefore, it should used into a variety of food compositions, butter, promote diet lifestyle. The objective the research was determine exact sugar concentration production nut butter. A complet...

Mixed tree cropping systems have been proposed for sustainable nutrient management in the humid tropics. Yet, the nutrient interactions between intercropped trees have not been addressed sufficiently. In the present study we compare the temporal and spatial patterns of the uptake of applied N by four different tree crops in a mixed tree cropping system on a Xanthic Ferralsol in central Amazônia...
