  • Is Peanut Butter Keto-Friendly?
    Is Peanut Butter Keto-Friendly? Yes! Peanut butter contains carbohydrates, fat, and protein; the ratios of those macronutrients are what makes it acceptable for a keto diet. Our Once Again peanut butters that are made with one simple ingredient: peanuts, are a healthy addition to your keto diet. Peanuts are in the legume family, which includes a variety of beans. Generally speaking, legumes are not included in keto diets; however, peanuts have a higher fat content than other beans which makes them keto-friendly. Moreover, peanuts have a similar macronutrient distribution when compared to nuts such as almonds. They are high in fat and lower in carbs, and thus make a perfect food for the keto lifestyle. Peanut butter fits nicely into your keto diet as a dip for celery, or add it to smoothies, or experiment with it as an ingredient in salad dressings. Is Almond Butter Keto- Friendly? Yes! Almond butter is a staple for most following a keto lifestyle. Used often as a versatile ingredient in salad dressings, dips, and sauces, and in many other culinary innovations, nut butters in general have the desired macronutrient ration for a keto diet, and almond butter is a particularly good choice because of its fiber and vitamin E content. Most of our almond butters contain one simple ingredient: almonds. The newest addition to our product line is our Blanched Almond Butter, available in both in Extra Creamy and Crunchy varieties. Once Again Blanched Almond Butters contain only one gram of carbohydrate per serving! Blanching almonds involves removing the exterior of the almond, leaving behind a surprisingly nutty-sweet interior, with its lighter texture and color.

  • Optimizing Almond Hulls for Dairy, Poultry and Insect Feedstocks in the U.S
    OPTIMIZING ALMOND HULLS FOR DAIRY, POULTRY AND INSECT FEEDSTOCKS IN THE U.S. AND ABROAD ROOM 306-307 | DECEMBER 6, 2018 AGENDA Moderator: • Mike Curry, Johnson Farms Speakers: • Jed Asmus, January Innovation, Inc. • Woo Kyun Kim, University of Georgia • Jean VanderGheynst, UC Davis • Eric Tilton, HermetiaPro 2 Feedstuffs for Dairy Cow Diets: Considerations for Almond Hull use and Production Jed Asmus, M.S., PAS January Innovation Inc. What we are going to review: • The objective of Dairy producers, and how it relates to feeding cows • How feed stuffs are selected, measured and compared • Comparing Almond Hulls to other feeds commonly used • Information known about Almond Hulls • …. And the things we have yet to learn. • Concerns with feeding them. 4 The goal for Dairy Producers • Like all businesses, the objective is to be as profitable as possible. • If milk is money (which it is), the goal of all dairy producers is to produce milk as efficiently as possible. • The single largest cost center on a dairy is feed; Accounting for up to 60% of total expenses. • This means, that the more efficiently the cow uses the feed she consumes, the more productive she is, and can mean the more profitable she is. • Its worth remembering that milk is a commodity, with average profit margins running around 3-5% over time. 5 Which one to choose • Designing diets for dairy cattle is a very technical, and scientific undertaking – Variables considered when designing diets include Age of Cattle Cattle Grouping Milk production Risk Stage of Lactation Margin of Error Components Cash Flow Feed prices Genetics Feed quality Breed Feed Supply Geographical Location Weather Milk Pricing structure Labor Owners business objectives Equipment Future herd demographics 6 How the industry looks at feeds for diet design • Feed stuffs are compared on an analytical basis – Samples are sent out for chemical analysis, often resulting in 30+ variables being reported and used in diet design.

  • Almond Pecan Corn
    Almond Pecan Corn 2 cups pecan halves, lightly toasted 2 cups unblanched almonds, lightly toasted 8 cups plain popped popcorn 2 cups white sugar 1 cup golden corn syrup 2/3 cup water 2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 pound unsalted butter 1. Combine popcorn and nuts in a large bowl and toss to distribute nuts. Line 2 large baking sheets with foil or parchment paper and set aside. 2. Combine sugar, corn syrup and water in a large heavy saucepan (non- stick makes clean-up easier) and bring to a boil over high heat. Wash down any sugar crystals clinging to the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, making sure that the tip does not touch the bottom of the pan. Add the salt and butter and continue cooking on high heat, without stirring, until candy thermometer registers 280-300º F. Do not leave the stove while this mixture is cooking. If it looks golden brown at 280º F remove from heat, if still pale, continue cooking to 300º F. 3. Wearing oven mitts carefully pour the hot syrup over the popcorn and nut mixture. Using two wooden spoons, sprayed with Pam, toss well to coat the mixture with the caramel. Spread the mixture into a thin layer on the foil lined baking sheets. Cool completely before breaking into bite size pieces. Store in an airtight container until ready to package for giving. This keeps well in an airtight container for about 2 weeks.

Hafez2 1Plant production Department, Arid Lands Cultivation Research Institute, City of Scientific Research and Technological Applications (SRTA- City), Universities and Research Center District, New Borg El-Arab, Alexandria, Egypt. 2*Plant Protection and Biomolecular Diagnosis Department, Arid Lands Cultivation Research Institute, City of Scientific Research and Technological Applications (SRTA-City), New Borg El-Arab, Alexandria, Egypt. Abstract Genetic variability among one genotype of walnut (Juglans regia L.) and three genotypes of almond (Prunus dulcis L.) were studied by using molecular characterization. Two markers generated variability among studied cultivars RAPD & ISSR. RAPD marker produce a total number of bands 63 consists of 27 monomorphic and 36 polymorphic bands, generated polymorphism as 57.14%. Among the resulted polymorphic bands, a13 unique bands were observed. Whenever, ISSR marker generates 68 total bands with 17 monomorphic bands and 51 polymorphic bands, from these polymorphic there were 17 unique bands. Obviously, ISSR gave polymorphism among the examined plants with percentage of 75%. Data of molecular attributes computed and illustrated highest similarity coefficient among hard and scrub almond genotypes (sweet almond) and also was represented in one cluster separated the studied 4 genotypes into two groups; one group includes walnut genotype and other group includes; sweet almond (scrub hard) and bitter almond. ISSR marker produces similarity of 75% higher than the RAPD marker 57.14%, so, ISSR molecular markers could be the suitable method to differentiate among walnut and almond genotypes rather than RAPD markers.

Melek Kostem, MSc Tübitak-Butal Bursa Test and Analysis Laboratory, Bursa Turkiye Abstract The properties of molecular structure, thermal behavior and UVA protection of 10 types of healthy promoting oils which are argania, almond, apricot seed, and jojoba, wheat germ, and sesame seed, avocado, cocoa, carrot and grapes seed oils were studied. FT-IR analysis was used for molecular structure. DSC analysis was used for thermal behavior and UV analysis was used for UV, visible and IR light absorption. Molecular structure and thermal behavior of avocado and cocoa are different from the others. Contrary to the spectra of avocado and cocoa on which the peaks belongs to carboxylic acid very strong, the spectra of the others do not involve carboxylic acid strong peaks. Almond, wheat germ and apricot seed oil absorb all UVA before 350 nm wave length. The UV protection property of grapes seed and cocoa is very well. Protection of wheat germ, almond and apricot seed oils to UVA is well respectively. Absorption of IR rate change from 7% to 25% for carrot, apricot seed, wheat germ, argania, avocado and grapes seed respectively. Keywords: Cosmetic oils, thermal behavior, molecular structure, UV protection Practical applications Except avocado and cocoa oils the others may be used for production of inherently UV protection yarn. This type of yarn can be used for producing UV protection clothes.

A major consequence of this 2 3 phenomenon is the re-colonization of these areas by the original vegetation. However, some 4 agricultural, exotic species are able to naturalize and colonize these abandoned lands. In this 5 6 study we explore the ability of almonds (Prunus dulcis D.A. Webb.) to establish in abandoned 7 croplands in semi-arid areas of SE Iberian Peninsula. Domesticated during the early Holocene 8 9 in SW Asia and the Eastern Mediterranean, the almond has spread as a crop all over the world. 10 We established three plots adjacent to almond orchards on land that was abandoned and 11 12 reforested with Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) and Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) about 20 13 years ago.
