Mediterranean diet and CHD: the Greek European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort.
Adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MD) has been reported to improve CHD prognosis and to be inversely associated with CHD mortality. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association of adherence to the MD with CHD incidence and mortality in the Greek European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition cohort, a population […]

Effects of Roasting on Antioxidant Status and Phenolic Profiles of Commercial Turkish Hazelnut Varieties (Corylus avellana L.).
The effect of roasting on antioxidant status and phenolic profiles of seven commercial Turkish hazelnut varieties (namely (Ãakildak; Fosa; Karafindik; Mincane; Palaz; Sivri; and Tombul) was assessed. Samples were examined for their total phenolics; oxygen radical absorbance capacity (ORAC) values; condensed tannins; and phenolic acids (free and bound forms). Significant losses (p < 0.05) in […]
Maintaining the quality of unripe; fresh hazelnuts through storage under modified atmospheres.
Unripe hazelnuts are used for fresh consumption due to their delicate taste; the tenderness of the kernel and the fact that they are easy to shell manually without having to use tools. This report focuses on the possibility of storing unripe; fresh hazelnuts (Corylus avellana L.; cv. Tonda Gentile Romana) under modified atmospheres; with the […]
Polyphenolic Composition of Hazelnut Skin
Skins from different hazelnut samples were characterized for total polyphenol content; total antioxidant capacity (TAC); and their content in specific polyphenolic compounds. The main polyphenolic subclass; identified and quantified by means of HPLC-MS/MS; comprised monomeric and oligomeric flavan-3-ols; which accounted for more than 95% of total polyphenols. Flavonols and dihydrochalcones were 3.5% while phenolic acids […]
Allergy to hazelnut in adults: A two-step study
BACKGROUND: Although hazelnut consumption is very high in Turkey; the prevalence of hazelnut allergy is still unknown. This study's objective was to investigate the prevalence of hazelnut sensitisation and to verify its clinical importance using double-blind; placebo-controlled challenge (DBPCFC) in an adult population. METHODS: Prick-to-prick skin tests were performed with fresh hazelnut in 904 patients […]
