Physical; compositional and sensory differences in nuts among pistachio (Pistachia vera L.) varieties

Differences in some physical; compositional and sensory characteristics among eight varieties of pistachio nuts (Aegina; Pontikis; Bronte; Cerasola; Joley; Kerman; Mumtaz and Sirora) from different origins were studied. The evaluated varieties were cultivated under the same field conditions and the dried nuts were utilised. The percentage of split nuts ranged from 93.8% (Sirora) to 80.2% […]

Effect of the harvest time on kernel quality of several almond varieties (Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D.A. Webb)

Studied cultivars came originally from three different countries: Italy (Supernova; Falsa Barese; Genco and Tuono); France (Ferragnes; Lauranne and Stelliette); Spain (Glorieta and Mas Bovera). The samples were collected in a field of […]
