The fruit is a drupe, containing an elongated seed, which is the edible portion. The seed, commonly thought of as a nut, is a culinary nut, not a botanical nut. The fruit has a hard, cream-colored exterior shell. The seed has a mauve-colored skin and light green flesh, with a distinctive flavor. Some geometrical propertiesof five major commercial Iranian pistachio varieties were evaluated as a function of moisture content. The moisture content of five varieties ranged from their harvest moisture content to a minimum of about 3–5% for nuts and 4–6% for kernels. This research investigates the physical propertiesofpistachionuts and their kernels concerning moisture content and variety.The objective of this study was to determine physical and mechanical propertiesof wild pistachionut of Syrjan rejoin as a function of moisture content. In this study, five different pistachios (Kirmizi, Uzun, Halebi, Siirt, Ohadi), which are produced widely and have a great potential in future, were examined. Nut`s stem breaking strength and cluster breaking strength of these pistachio varieties were measured during the harvesting time. The main objective of this study was to compare eight pistachio cultivars by analyzing key functional properties (phenolic compounds, polymeric procyanidins, antioxidant activity, and inhibition of α-amylase and β-glucosidase), aromatic compounds with gas... In this research, wild pistachio (Pistacia vera L.) nuts and kernels were analyzed for selected geometric properties and mechanical behavior under compression loading. The average length, width and… Functional and Sensory PropertiesofPistachioNuts as Affected by Cultivar. Furthermore, there is a vigorous gas-solid contact close to the contactor inlet, i.e., vigorous solid cross-flow from the annulus into the spout and a high upward air velocity, which avoids damaging the functional and sensory propertiesofpistachionuts. The physical propertiesofpistachionut and its kernel as a function of moisture content and variety. Keywords: pistachio, nut, kernel, geometric properties. Introduction.(1991) studied the physical and thermal propertiesof Kerman cultivar ofpistachionut. They investigated some of the moisture-dependent gravimetric properties (bulk density and specific gravity) of this variety. The physical propertiesofpistachionuts and its kernels are significant to propose the equipment for transportation, separation, processing, storing, and sorting. Background: Characterization of the gravimetric and geometric propertiesof whole pistachios plays an essential role in the processes of transportation and handling, drying, processing, and storage of this valuable product. Pistachionuts were salted and roasted with conventional method at 90, 120 and 150°C for 30 min. The changes of moisture, textural properties including hardness...
