Monitoring walnut oxidation is essential to control walnut quality during storage. An accelerated oxidation method for differentiating the oxidative stability index (OSI) of walnut kernels was examined and the effects of instrument operational parameters such as temperature and airflow were

BACKGROUND Different parts of the walnut [Juglans regia L. (Juglandaceae)] have been used in folk medicine for protection against liver injury, although its actual efficacy remains uncertain. OBJECTIVE The present study investigated the protective effect of walnut leaf extract against carbon

Walnut kernels contain high amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids that determine a limited shelf life on these nuts. The application of walnut phenolics as antioxidants through a walnut protein-based coating, obtained from walnut oil cake residue, can help to increase the shelf life of walnuts. The

The deterioration and shell thickness of walnut were studied using the terahertz time domain spectroscopy. Firstly, the THz spectra of moth-eaten, moldy and normal walnuts were compared, and the bad walnuts were properly rejected due to the differences of absorption peaks. Secondly, the

On a routine control for macular degeneration, a 90-year-old man presented with hyperpigmentation of the skin on both palms and bilateral thumbnail discolouration. He was otherwise asymptomatic. He had been shelling walnuts to store in his freezer for use as Christmas cake decorations. Shortly

The use of walnut or peanut in the elaboration of cereal bars represents a possible risk of undesirable changes during their storage due to their high content of unsaturated fatty acids in the oil; oxidizing of the fatty acids is one of the main causes of deterioration. Development of new snack

The aging brain shows selective neurochemical changes involving several neural cell populations. Increased brain metal levels have been associated with normal aging and a variety of diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). Melatonin levels are decreased in aging, particularly in AD subjects.

A case of suprasellar tumor associated with so-called atypical angina pectoris was reported. A 58-year-old man was admitted to our hospital on Feb. 2, 1973, because of headache, disturbance of visual field and the attack of chest pain. He had been suffering from disturbance of visual field for about

Storage of walnut kernels in light and at room temperature, as is common practice, is detrimental to their sensory quality and shelf life. This study demonstrates that Vis/NIR spectroscopy, in combination with multivariate data analysis (chemometrics), is a most capable rapid method for monitoring

Phenolic compounds that come from natural products are a good option for minimizing lipid oxidation. It should be noted that these are not only introduced directly into the food, but also incorporated into edible biofilms. In contact with food, they extend its useful life by avoiding contact with

Recently, dietary intervention has been considered as a prospective strategy in delaying age-related cognitive dysfunction and brain plasticity degeneration. This study explored the effect of walnut diets (6% and 9%, 8 weeks) on cognitive behavior, hippocampal neurogenesis and the neurotrophic

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) catalyzes the oxidative deamination of monoamines including dopamine (DA). MAO expression is elevated in Parkinson's disease (PD). An increase in MAO activity is closely related to age, and this may induce neuronal degeneration in the brain due to oxidative stress. MAO (and

Juglans nigra and Juglans regia are two highly economically important species for wood and fruit production that are susceptible to anthracnose caused by Gnomonia leptostyla. The identification of genotypes resistant to anthracnose could represent a valid alternative to agronomic and chemical

Introduction: An unwanted consequence of population aging is the growing number of elderly at risk of neurodegenerative disorders, including dementia and macular degeneration. As nutritional and behavioral changes can delay disease progression, we designed the Walnuts and Healthy Aging (WAHA) study,

OBJECTIVE To determine the impact of walnut oil on nitrite-induced testicular toxicity in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Available evidence suggests that walnut oil contains high levels of important unsaturated fatty acids including alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and omega-3; nitrite is a reproductive
