Anatomy and cell wall poly-saccharides of almond (Prunus dulcis D.A. Webb) seeds.
The anatomy of Prunus dulcis was analyzed by applying several differential staining techniques and light microscopy. Prunus dulcis seed has a thin and structurally complex seed coat; with lignified cellulosic tissue. The embryo has two voluminous cotyledons. Cotyledon cells have a high number of protein and lipid bodies; some of which have phytin. The provascular […]

Potential of furan formation in hazelnuts during heat treatment
The formation of furan as influenced by temperature and time of heating was studied in hazelnuts. Temperature was noted as the important processing parameter on the formation of furan in hazelnuts. The formation of furan was noticeably increased at temperatures exceeding 120 degrees C. Furan concentrations tended to increase linearly at 100 and 150 degrees […]
Effect of chronic consumption of almonds on body weight in healthy humans
Whole almonds activate gastrointestinal (GI) tract anti-proliferative signaling in APCmin (multiple intestinal neoplasia) mice.
Chemical composition of edible Macadamia nuts (Macadamia integrifolia) and impact of soil quality
The distribution of eight selected elements (As; Ca; Cr; Cu; Fe; Mg; Mn and Zn) in edible Macadamia (Macadamia integrifolia) nuts from eight sampling sites in the south east coast region of South Africa is investigated. The levels of the elements in all the Macadamia nuts are found to be in the decreasing order of […]
