“…Tree nuts are in general energy dense (23.4 and 26.8 kJ/g), have high lipid content (45 to 75%), and are rich sources of proteins, unsaturated fatty acids, fibers, vitamins (E, B6, folic acid, and niacin), minerals (magnesium, potassium, and copper), phytosterols (stigmasterol, sitosterol, and campesterol), and polyphenols (catechins, resveratrol, etc.) (Vadivel et al, 2012). Table 1 summarizes the proximate composition of some tree nuts and peanut for comparison.…”

Tree nuts and their products are highly nutritive and beneficial to health. On the other hand, some of them can lead to development of allergic reactions, protein intolerance or liver diseases in some groups of consumers. Therefore, it is important to study the risks of tree nuts ingestion as a major issue for food regulators and the pharmaceutical industry safety. A review of surveillance and correlation to possible Brazil nut allergy reactions with effects on consumers and some therapeutic potential was carried out to help in understanding the mechanisms and so preventing damages to sensitive consumer's health.

“…Australia is the world's largest producer, with approximately 14,100 metric tons [10]. M. integrifolia contains approximately 70% of oil and its oil is the most highly monounsaturated fatty acids, which possibly help lower blood cholesterol, and reduce the risk of heart disease and also containing 7.9% of protein [11,12]. Its defatted flours contain between 30.40% and 36.45% of protein.…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to obtain protein concentrates from Macadamia using alkaline pH at different pHs of precipitation with water to analyze the protein isolates using the native-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), sodium dodecyl sulfate-PAGE (SDS-PAGE) electrophoresis, and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-UHPLC) methods. Methods:Macadamia protein concentrates were obtained using the isoelectric precipitation method at different pHs using water as solvent. Proteins were analyzed using the native-PAGE, SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, and RP-UHPLC methods.Results: A yield of 36.57±0.17 a of protein concentrate of defatted Macadamia flour at pH 6.0 with a 51.564% of protein was obtained using the Dumas method. Polypeptides profile was identified in the 11-63 kDa range. Total polyphenols content was high at pH 5.0 with a value of 367,340 mg gallic acid equivalent equivalents/100 g. Conclusions:Macadamia seed is a good source of proteins. Native-PAGE, SDS-PAGE, and RP-UHPLC are good methods to identify the Macadamia protein isolate in the presence of water.
