Release of Protein; Lipid; and Vitamin E from Almond Seeds during Digestion
The evaluation of the bioaccessibility of almond nutrients is incomplete. However; it may have implications for the prevention and management of obesity and cardiovascular disease. This study quantified the release of lipid; protein; and vitamin E from almonds during digestion and determined the role played by cell walls in the bioaccessibility of intracellular nutrients. Natural […]
Prior. Lipophilic and hydrophilic antioxidant capacities of common foods in the United States.
Both lipophilic and hydrophilic antioxidant capacities were determined using the oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC(FL)) assay with fluorescein as the fluorescent probe and 2;2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride as a peroxyl radical generator on over 100 different kinds of foods; including fruits; vegetables; nuts; dried fruits; spices; cereals; infant; and other foods. Most of the foods were collected […]
Identification and characterization of Anthocyanins by high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry in common foods in the United States: Vegetables; Nuts and Grains.
Anthocyanins in common foods in the United States; other than fruits and berries; were identified and characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry coupled with diode array detection. Of all of the 40+ vegetables; nuts; and grains screened; seven vegetables; one nut; and one grain were found to contain anthocyanins; the number of […]

Effects of roasting; blanching; autoclaving; and microwave heating on antigenicity of almonds.
Whole; unprocessed Nonpareil almonds were subjected to a variety of heat processing methods that included roasting (280; 300; and 320 degrees F for 20 and 30 min each; and 335 and 350 degrees F for 8; 10; and 12 min each); autoclaving (121 degrees C; 15 psi; for 5; 10; 15; 20; 25; and 30 […]
Biochemical composition and immunological comparison of select pecan. Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh) K Koch cultivars;
On an edible portion basis; pecan moisture; protein; lipid; total soluble sugars; and ash contents ranged from 2.1% to 6.4%; 6.0% to 11.3%; 65.9% to 78.0%; 3.3% to 5.3%; and 1.2% to 1.8%; respectively. With the exception of a high tannin (2.7%) Texas seedling; pecan tannin content was in a narrow range (0.6-1.85%). Unsaturated fatty […]
Antioxidant phytochemicals in hazelnut kernel (Corylus avellana L.) and hazelnut byproducts.
Antioxidant efficacies of ethanol extracts of defatted raw hazelnut kernel and hazelnut byproducts (skin; hard shell; green leafy cover; and tree leaf) were evaluated by monitoring total antioxidant activity (TAA) and free-radical scavenging activity tests [hydrogen peroxide; superoxide radical; and 2;2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical]; together with antioxidant activity in a beta-carotene-linoleate model system; inhibition of oxidation […]
Antioxidative phenolic compounds isolated from almond skin (Prunus amygdalus Batsch).
New prenylated benzoic acid and other constituents from almond hulls (Prunus amygdalus Batsch).
One new prenylated benzoic acid derivative; 3-prenyl-4-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyloxy-4-hydroxylbenzoic acid; and three known constituents; catechin; protocatechuic acid; and ursolic acid; have been isolated from the hulls of almond (Prunus amygdalus). Complete assignments of the proton and carbon chemical shifts for the new prenylated benzoic acid derivative were accomplished on the basis of high-resolution 1D and 2D nuclear […]
