Effect of Tree Nuts Consumption on Serum Lipid Profile in Hyperlipidemic Individuals: A Systematic Review.

Many epidemiological studies have regularly connected nuts intake with decreased risk for coronary heart disease. The primary mechanism by which nuts protect against cardiovascular disease is through the improvement of lipid and apolipoprotein profile. Therefore, numerous dietary intervention studies investigated the impact of nut consumption on blood lipid levels. Many studies have shown that nut […]

The Role of Cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.) Nuts on an Experimental Model of Painful Degenerative Joint Disease.

Osteoarthritis is a progressive joint disease characterized by the activation of different molecular mediators, including proinflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species, metalloproteinases and nociceptive mediators. Anacardium occidentale L. is a medicinal plant with anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties. In this study we evaluate the effects of cashew nuts (from Anacardium occidentale L.) oral administration on an experimental model of painful degenerative […]

Flexible Supercapacitors Prepared Using the Peanut-Shell-Based Carbon.

In this work, we report the fabrication and performance of supercapacitors made from carbonized peanut shells, which are renewable materials with a huge annual yield and are usually discarded directly by people. With proper treatment, peanut shells could be used for many applications. Herein, we demonstrate that the peanut shells treated with carbonization and activation […]

Investigation of effectiveness of pyrolysis products on removal of alizarin yellow GG from aqueous solution: A comparative study with commercial activated carbon.

The increasing use of dyestuff in industrial applications brings with it environmental problems. These dyes, which are an eco-toxic hazard, are common water pollutants, even at very low concentrations in water resources. Therefore, they must be removed in an economical way. In this study, low-cost biosorbents such as pine cone char, walnut shell char, and […]

Cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide modified magnetic biochar from pine nut shells for efficient removal of acid chrome blue K.

Biochar was prepared by rapid pyrolysis using pine nut shell as raw materials. Then cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide modified magnetic biochar material (CTAB-MC) was obtained after modifying biochar by FeCl3 and cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide. The CTAB-MC was characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRD and Magnetic analyses. Adsorptive property of the CTAB-MC for acid chrome blue K […]

Adsorption of hexavalent chromium using modified walnut shell from solution.

Modified walnut shell (MWS) was obtained using diethylenetriamine through a grafting reaction and its adsorption capacity toward Cr(VI) was enhanced. The adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and elemental analysis and the results showed that the modification was effective. To optimize experimental conditions, the effect of temperature, solution pH, […]

Application of Walnut Shells-Derived Biopolyol in the Synthesis of Rigid Polyurethane Foams.

This study aimed to examine rigid polyurethane (PUR) foam properties that were synthesized from walnut shells (WS)-based polyol. The Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) results revealed that the liquefaction of walnut shells was successfully performed. The three types of polyurethane (PUR) foams were synthesized by replacement of 10, 20, and 30 wt% of a petrochemical […]

The effect of pistachio by‐product extracts treatment in protecting soybean meal and canola meal protein from rumen microbial degradation.

Background: The industrial de-hulling of fresh pistachio generates a large quantity of pistachio by-products (PBP). This study was carried out to investigate the effects of treating soybean meal (SBM) and canola meal (CM) with tannin extracts derived from PBP on the protein fractions according to Cornell Net Carbohydrates and Protein System (CNCPS), rumen degradability and ruminal […]
