Krist, Vegetable Fats and Oils, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-30314-3_94 594 Pistachio Oil Habitat P Pistacia vera originates in Central Asia and the Mediterranean area. Alexander the Great brought it to Greece, and the Romans brought to to Sicily. Even today, pista- chios grow wild in several countries, for example in Afghanistan and India. They prefer dry, desert-like regions and are very frost-susceptible. Pistacia vera has a biennial crop sequence, which is why there are in turn small and large amounts of crop (Hager 1978, volume 6a, p. 730; Roth and Kormann 2000, p. 145). Description Pistacia vera is an evergreen, deciduous tree that can reach a height of 8–12 m. The crown is spreading and forms a dense canopy of leaves. The leaves are pinnate or bipinnate, greyish green, with stalkless, ovate leaflets. The panicle is short; the inconspicuous, axillary flowers are a reddish colour. They develop into elongated, oval stone fruit that are about 2–3 cm long. The fruit are brownish red and wrinkly, with a thin layer of fruit pulp that tastes of turpentine. They contain the seeds that are sold as pistachios or “green almonds”. The seed is usually triangular, a green, brownish or violet colour and 20 mm long. It is slightly compressed at the sides and protected by a whitish, hard shell (Hager 1978, volume 6a, p.

  • Consumer Acceptance and Quantitative Descriptive Analysis of Pistachio Spread
    J. Agr. Sci. Tech. (2017) Vol. 19: 85-95 Consumer Acceptance and Quantitative Descriptive Analysis of Pistachio Spread A. Shakerardekani1 ABSTRACT Pistachio nut (Pistacia vera L.) is one of the popular and nutritious tree nuts in the world. Pistachio spread is a new product which is made from pistachio paste, icing sugar, Soy Protein Isolate (SPI), and Red Palm Oil (RPO). This study involved sensory acceptability (by 32 assessors) using Hedonic scale and development of suitable terminology for describing pistachio spread using Quantitative Descriptive Analysis (QDA). This study represents the first report on using QDA for sensory evaluation of pistachio products. The QDA method is used to determine the sensory profile of the two pistachio spreads with higher acceptability in the Hedonic scale (Formulation 12 including 50% pistachio paste, 30% icing sugar, and 20% RPO and Formulation 16 including 58.3% pistachio paste, 25% icing sugar, and 16.7% RPO). According to the results, RPO has a direct effect on the sensory acceptance of pistachio spread (P< 0.05). Eight panelists were selected for evaluation of pistachio spread. Twenty attributes (in terms of appearance (green color, visible particles, glossy), aroma (sweet, roasted, nutty, milky/creamy), flavor taste (beany, sweet, oily, bitter, nutty, creamy), texture (stickiness, oiliness, firmness, adhesiveness, spreadability), and aftertaste (bitter, astringency) were identified and developed for the product. No significant difference was observed in all pistachio spread formulations attributes, except for sweetness (P< 0.05). Keywords: Hedonic test, Panelist, QDA, Red palm oil, Sensory evaluation. INTRODUCTION The split pistachios are consumed as roasted and/or salted nut snacks.

  • Specialty Oils Is Preventing That Remains After Pressing, and Virgin Olive Oxidation―Especially in Those That Contain a High Level of Oil
    [Fats/Oils] Vol. 18 No. 9 September 2008 Pouring on Specialty Oil Ideas By Tamie Cook, Contributing Editor They say variety is the spice of life. And, if that’s the case, the product and menu developer’s pantry can be a veritable smorgasbord of piquancy. Literally, we have the world at the end of our whisk, and this has never been truer than when it comes to reaching for oils. In days past, choices were largely limited to vegetable, peanut, soybean, the occasional variety of olive oil and, on a good day, extra virgin olive oil. No longer confined to these basics, myriad choices now address today’s ingredient requirements for health, variety, taste and versatility. Whether it’s for a new dish on the menu or the next big product line, look at the choices, learn about their many uses and try some new oil on your palette. Most fruit, nut and seed oils generally undergo comparatively little processing. Many are mechanically, or “expeller,” extracted and are unrefined so no solvent was used to extract the oil, and no bleach or deodorizing agent was used to refine it. Thus, the oil retains its full, natural flavor, aroma and color, and many of its naturally occurring nutrients. This translates into a product that not only adds flavor to a dish, but also adds value to a menu or product. Shedding new light on an old friend When it comes to olive oil, everything old is new again. The olive tree, a native of Asia Minor, has been around for more than 6,000 years.

In the present study, we investigated if pistachio consumption is able to prevent or to revert hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, hepatic steatosis, and adipose tissue morphological alterations caused by high fat diet (HFD) in the mouse. Moreover, the impact of pistachio intake on the mRNA expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPAR-g), fatty acid transport proteins (FAT-P), fatty acid synthase (FAS), stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD1), and sterol regulatory element-binding transcription factor-1c (SREBP-1c) in liver and adipose tissue was also analyzed. No change in body weight, food intake, and hyperglycemia was observed between mice consuming pistachios (HFD-P) and HFD mice. Pistachio intake was able to prevent but not to reverse HFD-induced hypertriglyceridemia.

  • Factors Influencing Storage Quality of Hazelnut Varieties
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS Kais S. Ebrahem for the degree of Doctor of philosophy in Horticulture presented on October 16. 1992 Title: FACTORS INFLUENCING STORAGE QUALITY OF HAZELNUT VARIETIES Abstract approved: . ^. Dr. Daryl G.\. RichaRichardson, Professor of Horticulture This thesis research is a series of five studies dealing with various aspects of hazelnut quality: 1. Identification of kernel mold and its incidence among hazelnut varieties. 2. Seasonal development and composition of kernels. 3. Hazelnut oil composition (fatty acids and tocopherols) of seventeen varieties. 4. Hazelnut oil composition compared to 14 other nuts and oilseeds. 5. Storage and roasting effects on lipid oxidation. Barcelona, Daviana, and Ennis varieties of hazelnuts used to study white mold showed that mold incidence was highest in 1986, and much less in 1987 and 1988. Ramularia spp was the only fungus that was identified in all samples with kernel mold and was usually found at high percentages. Temperatures for drying, storage, and numbers of nuts per cluster had no significant effect on percent mold. The second part of this study measured fatty acid and vitamin E concentrations during the growing season. Samples were collected from seven varieties (Barcelona, Daviana, Ennis, Tonda Romana, Tonda Gentile della Langhe, Tombul, and Tombul Ghiaghli). Kernel oil and vitamin E (tocopherol) concentrations increased with time, while moisture decreased. Oleic acid was the major fatty acid (ca.75%) found in hazelnuts, followed by linoleic(ca.20%). Linolenic was high at the beginning of the season but then decreased to about 1% at harvest. Alpha-tocopherol was the major form of vitamin E found, composing almost 95% of total tocopherols.

For this purpose, pistachio oil was blended with cheap oils at concentration level of 10 to 60% (w/w). Then, FT-IR spectra of pure and adulterated pistachio oil samples were obtained. The fingerprints region was found to be useful in investigation of the adulteration of pistachio oil. At this region, the absorbance peaks of FT-IR decreased by increasing the adulterant amount with a linear relation that can be applied for the quality and quantity purposes. The obtained results showed that the proposed method can be considered and used as an alternative method in the detection and semi-quantization of adulteration in pistachio oil. Key word: Pistachio oil; Adulteration; FT-IR.
