  • Pine Nuts: a Review of Recent Sanitary Conditions and Market Development
    Article Pine Nuts: A Review of Recent Sanitary Conditions and Market Development Hafiz Umair Masood Awan 1 and Davide Pettenella 2,* 1 Department of Forest Science, University of Helsinki, FI 00014 Helsinki, Finland; [email protected] or [email protected] 2 Department Land, Environment, Agriculture and Forestry, University of Padova, 35020 Legnaro (PD), Italy * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-049-827-2741 Received: 16 July 2017; Accepted: 14 September 2017; Published: 27 September 2017 Abstract: Pine nuts are non-wood forest products (NWFP) with a constantly growing market notwithstanding a series of phytosanitary issues and related trade problems. The aim of this paper is to review the literature on the relationship between phytosanitary problems and trade development. Production and trade of pine nuts in Mediterranean Europe have been negatively affected by the spreading of Diplodia sapinea (a fungus) associated with an adventive insect Leptoglossus occidentalis (fungal vector), with impacts on forest management, production and profitability and thus in value chain organization. Reduced availability of domestic production in markets with a growing demand has stimulated the import of pine nuts. China has become a leading exporter of pine nuts, but its export is affected by a symptom caused by the nuts of some pine species: ‘pine nut syndrome’ (PNS). Most of the studies mentioned in the literature review concern PNS occurrence associated with the nuts of Pinus armandii. We highlight the need for a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of the pine nuts value chain organization, where research on food properties and clinical toxicology may be connected to breeding and forest management, forest pathology and entomology, and trade development.

  • Non-Wood Forest Products from Conifers
    NO\ -WOOD FOREST PROaCTS 12 Non-wood forest products from conifers Food and Agriculture Organizahon of the United Nations NO \--WOOD FOREST PRODUCTS 12 Non-wood forest products from conifers by William M. Ciesla European Forest Institute FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS Rome, 1998 Reprinted 2001 This paper discusses both traditional and contemporary uses of products from conifers. This material is presented for information only and does not imply endorsement by the author or by FAO. Some of those products have medicinal purposes; however, they should only be used under the care and guidance of a qualified physician. Transport of certain non-wood forest products (e.g. foliage, Christmas trees, seeds and landscape or ornamental plants) across international boundaries poses a risk of accidental transport and introduction of insects, fungi or other potentially destructive agents.Itis recommended that anyone planning to move plant materials across international boundaries check with appropriate authorities in the country from which the products are to be exported and the countries into which the products are to be imported for import permit requirements or restrictions which might apply. Movement of non-wood forest products across international boundaries may be subject to trade restrictions (both tariff and non-tariff). Appropriate authorities should be contacted prior to planned movement of any non-wood forest products across international boundaries. A review of trade restrictions affecting international trade in non-wood forest products may be found in Non-Wood Forest Products No. 8, 1995. The designations employed and the presentation of material in this publication do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.

  • Nut-Free Diet
    Leaders In Allergy & Asthma Care For Over 40 Years Nut-Free Diet There are many different foods that are called "nuts." These are tree nuts, peanuts (e.g., legumes) and seeds. Each of these foods belongs to a particular food family. When a person has an allergy to a tree nut, it is recommended that this nut and all other tree nuts in that family be avoided. It is possible to be allergic to only one tree nut or tree nut family while tolerating other tree nuts, peanuts, and seeds. It is possible to have multiple allergies to unrelated tree nuts, peanuts, and/or seeds. If someone is allergic to only one tree nut or tree nut family, they should always be careful about eating other tree nuts, peanuts and seeds that they have never eaten before. The following is a list of food families that may also be related to certain fruits and vegetables. An allergy to a tree nut, peanut or seed does not necessarily mean an allergy to a related fruit or vegetable. If symptoms occur after ingesting a related fruit or vegetable, avoid those foods which cause symptoms. 1. Almond (and apricot, cherry, peach, nectarine, plum, prune) 2. Brazil nut 3. Cashew, pistachio (and mango) 4. Chestnut, beechnut, chinquapin 5. Filbert, hazelnut, wintergreen 6. Macadamia nut 7. Pine nut, pignoli nut, pinon nut, Indian nut (and juniper berries used to flavor gin) 8. Legume family: peanut (and alfalfa, carob, beans-dried/string, licorice, pea, soybean) 9. Pumpkin seed (and cantaloupe, cucumber, honeydew, squash, watermelon) 10. Sesame seed 11.
