Characterization of Lipids in Pistacia Species Grown in Turkey

Risk assessment of exposure to aflatoxin B1 and ochratoxin A through consumption of different Pistachio ( Pistacia vera L.) cultivars collected from four geographical regions of Iran

“…The composition of pistachio kernel may vary depending on the cultivar, cultivation site, climate, and horticultural practice (Agar et al, 1994 ▶; Nadernejad et al, 2012 ▶; Tajabadipour et al, 2005 ▶; Tavallali and Rahemi 2007 ▶; Tsantili et al, 2010 ▶). It is necessary to evaluate the effects of cultivar, rootstock, geographical and climatic condition on some characteristics of agricultural crops, like pistachio, and investigate the effects of these parameters on the amount of fatty acids, mineral elements and total protein in pistachio cultivars (Chahed et al, 2008 ▶; Küçüköner and Yurt, 2003 ▶).…”

“…Alterations in moisture levels have been shown in pistachio cultivars collected from different geographical and climatic conditions (Chahed et al, 2008 ▶). According to the literature, the fatty acids content in pistachio cultivars varies among different climate conditions (Agar et al, 1994 ▶). Serious changes in phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity have been shown to be attributed to site of cultivation, climate and some postharvest conditions (Kornsteiner et al, 2006 ▶).…”

Comparison of the seed oils of Pistacia vera L. of different origins with respect to fatty acids

“…Turkey, one of the main pistachio producers in the world (19.5%), has 66 million wild pistachio trees, either P. terebinthus L., P. khinjuk or P. atlantica Dsf. (Ayfer, 1974; Agar et al. , 1995).…”

Antepfıstığı (Pistacia vera L.) ve İnsan Sağlığı Üzerine Etkileri

“…Oleik asit antepfıstığındaki en önemli doymamış yağ asitlerinden biridir. Antepfıstığındaki yağ asitlerinin %50'sinden fazlasını oluşturmaktadır [31,[47][48][49][50][51][52]. Çoklu doymamış yağ asitlerinin günlük kalorinin yaklaşık %10'unu sağlayabileceği bildirilmektedir [28].…”
