  • Health and Nutrition Research
    Health and Nutrition Research Pistachios can help individuals maintain good health, support an active lifestyle and reduce the risk of nutrition-related diseases. Research studies suggest that pistachios have numerous health benefits, including being a source of health-boosting antioxidants and other important nutrients, lowering the risk of heart disease, supporting weight management and a healthy diet, creating a lower-than-expected blood-sugar level and helping with insulin sensitivity. Subjects who ate more than three servings of nuts (such as pistachios) per week had a 39% lower mortality risk. The PREDIMED Study. Guasch-Ferré, et al. BMC medicine 2013Jul16; 11:164 AmericanPistachios.org Pistachios and Mortality Many large population studies have found an inverse association between nut intake and total mortality. Recently published in the British Journal of Nutrition, nut intake was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality in a large prospective study of 19,386 participants. As compared with subjects who did not eat nuts, those who consumed nuts more than 8 times per month showed a 47% lower risk of dying from any cause.1 Similar results have been found in studies from populations around the world.2 An analysis of studies for all-cause, cancer and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality, with a total of 354,933 participants, nut consumption was associated with significant protection. One-serving of nuts per day resulted in 27% lower risk from dying from any cause including CVD and cancer.3 In another systematic review and analysis of large, well-designed prospective population studies in Europe and North America showed that nut consumption is inversely associated with all-cause mortality, total CVD mortality, coronary heart disease mortality and sudden cardia death.

  • Raw and Roasted Pistachio Nuts (Pistacia Vera L.) Are ‘Good’ Sources of Protein Based on Their Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score As Determined in Pigs
    Research Article Received: 12 September 2019 Revised: 13 April 2020 Accepted article published: 23 April 2020 Published online in Wiley Online Library: 19 May 2020 (wileyonlinelibrary.com) DOI 10.1002/jsfa.10429 Raw and roasted pistachio nuts (Pistacia vera L.) are ‘good’ sources of protein based on their digestible indispensable amino acid score as determined in pigs Hannah M Bailey and Hans H Stein* Abstract BACKGROUND: Pistachio nuts may be consumed as raw nuts or as roasted nuts. However, there is limited information about the protein quality of the nuts, and amino acid (AA) digestibility and protein quality have not been reported. Therefore, the objec- tive of this research was to test the hypothesis that raw and roasted pistachio nuts have a digestible indispensable AA score (DIAAS) and a protein digestibility corrected AA score (PDCAAS) greater than 75, thereby qualifying them as a good source of protein. RESULTS: The standardized ileal digestibility (SID) of all indispensable AAs, except arginine and phenylalanine, was less in roasted pistachio nuts than in raw pistachio nuts (P < 0.05). Raw pistachio nuts had a PDCAAS of 73, and roasted pistachio nuts had a PDCAAS of 81, calculated for children 2–5 years, and the limiting AA in the PDCAAS calculation was threonine. The DIAAS values calculated for children older than 3 years, adolescents, and adults was 86 and 83 for raw and roasted pistachio nuts respectively. The limiting AA in both raw and roasted pistachio nuts that determined the DIAAS for this age group was lysine. CONCLUSION: The results of this research illustrate that raw and roasted pistachio nuts can be considered a good quality pro- tein source with DIAAS greater than 75; however, processing conditions associated with roasting may decrease the digestibility of AAs in pistachio nuts.

  • Descriptive Analysis of Black Walnut Cultivars and Relationship Between Consumer Acceptance and Descriptive Analysis of Black Walnuts in a Sugar Cookie Base
    DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS OF BLACK WALNUT CULTIVARS AND RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CONSUMER ACCEPTANCE AND DESCRIPTIVE ANALYSIS OF BLACK WALNUTS IN A SUGAR COOKIE BASE by ASHLEY E. MILLER B.S.F.C.S., University of Georgia, 2009 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Interdisciplinary Food Science Graduate Program College of Human Ecology KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2012 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Delores Chambers Copyright ASHLEY E. MILLER 2012 Abstract Researchers evaluated the flavor characteristics of seven black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) cultivars: Brown Nugget, Davidson, Emma K, Football, Sparks 127, Sparrow, and Tomboy using descriptive sensory analysis. Seven trained panelists developed a lexicon for the black walnuts and scored the intensities of the samples for 22 flavor and taste attributes. Results showed that the 7 samples differed significantly (P ≤ 0.05) on 13 of the attributes. For the majority of the attributes, only Emma K differed from the rest of the cultivars by being characterized with lower scores for black walnut ID, overall nutty, nutty-grain-like, nutty-buttery, floral/fruity, oily, and overall sweet. It also was higher in acrid, burnt, fruity-dark, musty/earthy, rancid, and bitter attributes. Researchers then incorporated the black walnut cultivars into a simple cookie recipe and evaluated the samples for differences in flavor attributes using the same trained panelists. Nine of the 25 attributes differed significantly across cultivars: black walnut ID, overall nutty, nutty-buttery, brown, toasted, acrid, rancid, overall sweet, and sweet (P ≤ 0.05). Lower mean scores in black walnut ID, overall nutty, and sweet and higher mean scores in rancid and acrid characterized the Emma K cookie.

  • 2020 Report on the Distribution of AF36 in Pistachio and Almond
    1 of 5 Distribution of AF36 in Pistachio and Almond Orchards within the San Joaquin Valley Arizona Cotton Research & Protection Council, Phoenix, Arizona David Edmunds, AF36 Program Specialist The biological control Aspergillus flavus AF36 Prevail has established itself as an effective tool in the management of aflatoxins by using a native strain of the fungus incapable of producing aflatoxins. The beneficial strain, AF36, is coated onto a carrier grain that is sterilized, meaning it will not germinate, and serves as a food source for the fungus. By applying Aspergillus flavus AF36 Prevail to crops at the appropriate time, the fungus grows on the carrier grain in the field, and its spores move to the desired crop by wind and insects before the aflatoxin-producing strains (A. flavus S-morphotype and A. parasiticus) which are present in the environment have an opportunity to infect the crops. Using AF36 actually changes the composition of the fungi in the environment, which shifts the majority of the population from potential aflatoxin producers to the safe non-toxin producing strain of Aspergillus flavus in AF36 Prevail. The pistachio industry broadly adopted this technology across the San Joaquin Valley in California starting in 2012.

  • Harvesting and Storing Your Home Orchard's Nut Crop
    PUBLICATION 8005 Harvesting and Storing Your Home Orchard’s Nut Crop: Almonds, Walnuts, Pecans, Pistachios, and Chestnuts UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA ED PERRY, University of California Cooperative Extension Farm Advisor, Division of Agriculture Stanislaus County; G. STEVEN SIBBETT, University of California Cooperative Extension and Natural Resources Farm Advisor, Tulare County. http://danrcs.ucdavis.edu he quality and quantity of your home orchard’s nut crop depend on the harvest- Ting, processing, and storage techniques that you use. This publication offers advice for handling almonds, chestnuts, pecans, pistachios, and walnuts. GENERAL TIPS When to Harvest Harvest all types of nuts as soon as they are ready. Late harvesting reduces crop volume, lowers nut quality, and shortens storage life. In California, harvest timing varies somewhat with location. The earliest harvest generally occurs in the southern San Joaquin Valley, followed by the central San Joaquin Valley, the Sacramento Valley, and finally the coastal valleys. An interval of about seven days separates the begin- ning dates for harvest in each succeeding district. Harvesting To harvest nuts (except chestnuts), knock or shake them from their trees with long wooden, fiberglass, or plastic (PVC) poles. You can knock almonds from the trees using rubber mallets or poles that are available from farm supply stores. CAUTION: When harvesting nuts with a pole, use extreme caution. Any contact between the pole and power lines will result in serious injury or death. Do not use aluminum or other metal poles to harvest nuts: these are especially hazardous around power lines. Loosened nuts often follow the pole to the ground, striking the person holding the pole.

  • Sensory Profiles and Seasonal Variation of Black Walnut Cultivars and the Relationship Between Sensory Characteristics and Consumer Acceptance of Black Walnut Gelato
    SENSORY PROFILES AND SEASONAL VARIATION OF BLACK WALNUT CULTIVARS AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS AND CONSUMER ACCEPTANCE OF BLACK WALNUT GELATO by CATHERINE A. LYNCH B.S., Iowa State University, 2012 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE Food Science KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2015 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Kadri Koppel Abstract Black walnut (Juglans nigra L.) is a Juglans species native to the United States. Nuts are collected each fall from black walnut trees and the kernels are consumed in many food products like ice cream, candies, and baked goods. Flavor profiles of black walnut cultivars have been examined, but no studies have looked at the effect of growing season on flavor profile, and few studies have determined consumer acceptance of black walnut food products. The sensory profiles of 10 black walnut cultivars (Football, Vandersloot, Brown Nugget, Pounds, Sparks 127, Davidson, Sparrow, Neel, Emma K, and Tomboy) were evaluated using descriptive sensory analysis. A trained panel scored the intensity of 3 appearance, 7 aroma, 23 flavor, and 6 texture attributes. Results showed that the cultivars differed significantly (P≤0.05) on 11 of these attributes. The results from this study were also compared to results collected in 2011 of 7 black walnut cultivars. Two flavor attributes (black walnut ID and overall nutty) had an interaction effect of year and cultivar, while 7 attributes showed a main effect of year (brown, caramelized, floral/fruity, fruity,-dark piney, musty/dusty, and oily). In general, flavor attributes had higher intensities in 2011 than in 2013.
