Microwave Assisted Extraction of Phenolic Compounds from Almond Skin By-products (Prunus amygdalus): A Multivariate Analysis Approach
A microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) procedure to isolate phenolic compounds from almond skin by-products was optimized. A three-level, three-factor Box-Behnken design was used to evaluate the effect of almond skin weight, microwave power and irradiation time on total phenolic content (TPC) and antioxidant activity (DPPH). Almond skin weight was the most important parameter on the studied […]
Effect of almond consumption on vascular function in patients with coronary artery disease: a randomized, controlled, cross-over trial.
Occurrence of ochratoxin a contamination and detection of ochratoxigenic Aspergillus species in retail samples of dried fruits and nuts.
