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 […]

Detection and stability of the major almond allergen in foods.
Almond major protein (AMP or amandin); the primary storage protein in almonds; is the major allergen recognized by almond-allergic patients. A rabbit antibody-based inhibition ELISA assay for detecting and quantifying AMP in commercial foods has been developed; and this assay; in conjunction with Western blotting analyses; has been applied to the investigation of the antigenic […]
Serum lipid response to the graduated enrichment of a step 1 diet with almonds: a randomized feeding trial.
BACKGROUND: Frequent consumption of nuts may lower the risk of cardiovascular disease by favorably altering serum lipid and lipoprotein concentrations. OBJECTIVE: We compared the effects of 2 amounts of almond intake with those of a National Cholesterol Education Program Step I diet on serum lipids; lipoproteins; apolipoproteins; and glucose in healthy and mildly hypercholesterolemic adults. […]

Investigation of the contents of essential elements in nuts; almonds and dry fruits. Article in Polish. Rocz Panstw Zakl Hig
Concentrations of Ca; P; Fe; Zn; Cu and Mn were determined in nuts; almonds as well as in dry fruits available on Polish market. The contents of minerals in 100 g of nuts were as follows: 55.8-261 mg Ca; 294-724 mg P; 1.11-3.06 mg Fe; 2.05-4.98 mg Zn; 0.5-1.38 mg Cu and 0.93-5.75 mg Mn. […]
