Pistachio nut consumption modifies systemic hemodynamics, increases heart rate variability, and reduces ambulatory blood pressure in well-controlled type 2 diabetes: a randomized trial
Mathematical approach for sampling plan performance assessment for aflatoxin B1 in pistachios
According to the EU Regulation 165/2010, the level of aflatoxin B1 and total aflatoxins in pistachios must not exceed 8 μg/kg and 10 μg/kg, respectively. Due to the heterogeneous distribution of this contaminant, the performance of sampling plans highly depends on the way they are designed. So, the sampling plan to be used must be […]

In vitro bioaccessibility of copper, iron, zinc and antioxidant compounds of whole cashew apple juice and cashew apple fibre (Anacardium occidentale L.) following simulated gastro-intestinal digestion
Considering the lack of research studies about nutrients' bioaccessibility in cashew apple, in this study the whole cashew apple juice and the cashew apple fibre were submitted to simulated in vitro gastrointestinal digestion. The samples were analysed before and after digestion and had their copper, iron, zinc, ascorbic acid, total extractable phenols and total antioxidant […]
