Walnut Consumption May Help Induce Favourable Nutrient Profile in Elderly People
Diet quality is known to decline among elderly people, whom require higher levels of nutrients to promote and maintain an optimal health status. The main objective of this study published recently in the British Journal of Nutrition was to observe the daily inclusion of walnuts (43g/day) to the habitual diet of free-living older adults (walnut group) and then compared with a similar group of participants but abstaining from walnut consumption (control group).
Nut Consumption is Associated with Reduced Mortality
This study, published recently in Food & Function journal conducted a search through PUBMED and EMBASE to evaluate the nut-mortality association. Previous studies showed a consistent inverse association between nut consumption and all-cause mortality, but the associations with cause-specific mortality remained unclear.

Genetic and geochemical signatures to prevent frauds and counterfeit of high-quality asparagus and pistachio.
A fingerprinting strategy based on genetic (simple sequence repeat) and geochemical (multielement and 87Sr/86Sr ratio) analysis was tested to prove the geographical origin of high-quality Italian products "White Asparagus from Bassano del Grappa" and "Green Pistachio from Bronte". Genetic analysis generated many polymorphic alleles and different specific amplified fragments in both agriproducts. In addition, a […]

This study reports the occurrence of Ochratoxin A (OTA) and associated fungal contamination in 35 samples […]
Application of Power Ultrasound on the Convective Drying of Fruits and Vegetables: Effects on quality.
Drying allows the obtaining of products with a long shelf life by reducing the water activity to a level low enough for the growth of microorganisms, enzymatic reactions, and other deteriorative reactions to be inhibited. Despite the benefits of this operation, the quality of heat sensitive products is diminished when high temperatures are used. The […]
