Amino acids, sugars, and inorganic elements in the sweet almond (Prunus amygdalus)

Comparative Analysis of Mineral Elements and Essential Amino Acids Compositions in <i>Juglans sigillata<i> and <i>J. regia<i> Walnuts Kernels

“…Lysine residues were essential for both receptor-dependent proinflammatory and receptor-independent cytolytic activities (Cheung et al, 2014). In comparison, the results for the composition of essential amino acid in J. sigillata and J. regia from China were consistent with several published reports including those for Spanish almonds (Calixto et al, 1981), New Zealand hazelnuts (Savage and McNeil, 1998), Turkish Tombul hazelnut (Alasalvar et al, 2003), Chilean hazelnut (Villarroel et al, 1987), almond, pecan, pine nut, and pistachio (Ruggeri et al, 1998). What's more, it was favorable with the data of amino acid composition for edible nuts from USDA (Tab.…”

Response surface optimization of ultrasound-assisted oil extraction from autoclaved almond powder

“…Almonds contain $20% (w/w) protein and, except for methionine, provide all of the essential amino acids in quantities equal to or greater than those recommended by the FAO guidelines (Esteban, López-Andréu, & Carpena, 1985;Saura-Calixto, Bauza, Martinez de Toda, & Argamenteria, 1981). Apart from the high protein content, the almonds also contain as much as about 50% oil.…”

Free sugar compositions based on kernel taste in almond genotypes Prunus dulcis from Eastern Turkey

“…Saura-Calixto et al [18] reported a total sugar content of 5.5% for almond kernel. Nieddu et al [16] recorded that almond genetic resources of Sardinia (Italy) contain a total sugar between 0.44% and 5.33%, and most genotypes had reducing sugar contents lower than 2%.…”
