The oil recovery from Alyanak apricot kernel was 36.65% in control (unroasted) and increased to 43.77% in microwave-roasted kernels. The total phenolic contents in extracts from apricot kernel were between 0.06 (oven-roasted) and 0.20 mg GAE/100 g (microwave-roasted) while the antioxidant activity varied between 2.55 (oven-roasted) and 19.34% (microwave-roasted). Gallic acid, 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, (+)-catechin and 1,2-dihydroxybenzene were detected as the key phenolic constituents in apricot kernels. Gallic acid contents varied between 0.53 (control) and 1.10 mg/100 g (microwave-roasted) and 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid contents were between 0.10 (control) and 0.35 mg/100 g (microwave-roasted). Among apricot oil fatty acids, palmitic acid contents ranged from 4.38 (oven-roasted) to 4.76% (microwave-roasted); oleic acid contents were between 65.73% (oven-roasted) and 66.15% (control) and linoleic acid contents varied between 26.55 (control) and 27.12% (oven-roasted).

WOS: 000419262500005, PubMed: 29311522, Oil content and bioactive properties of almond and walnut kernels were investigated in developing almond and walnut kernels at 10 days intervals. The oil contents of almond and walnuts after the first harvest (1.H) stage changed between 46.2% and 55.0% to 39.1% and 70.5%, respectively (p, Deanship of Scientific Research at King Saud UniversityDeanship of Scientific Research at King Saud University [RG-1435-049], The authors would like to extend their sincere appreciation to the Deanship of Scientific Research at King Saud University for its funding the Research group NO (RG-1435-049).

2nd Asian Conference on Oleo Science (ACOS) / 56th Annual Meeting of the Japan-Oil-Chemists'-Society (JOCS) -- SEP 11-13, 2017 -- Tokyo Univ Sci, Kagurazaka Campus, Tokyo, JAPAN, WOS: 000451293900013, PubMed: 29863092, The changes in chemical properties of the peanut varieties (NC-7 and COM) in the raw and roasted forms stored at 30 degrees C for 8 months were monitored. Acidity and peroxide values of raw and roasted NC-7 and COM kernel oils increased during storage. The unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic, linoleic acids of roasted peanut oils gradually decreased during storage. While the oleic acid contents of raw NC-7 oil changed 46.14% (month 0) and 43.14% (month 8), the oleic acid contents of roasted NC-7 kernel oils varied between 42.38% (month 8) and 45.61% (month 0) during storage. In addition, while the oleic acid contents of raw COM kernel oil decreased from 49.87% (month 0) to 46.09% (month 7), the oleic acid contents of roasted COM kernel oil decreased from 48.88% (month 0) to 45.24% (month 8) during storage. The highest linoleic acid were found in the initial periods of storage for raw and roasted NC-7 and COM oils. In addition, the alpha-tocopherol contents of both raw and roasted peanut kernel oils changed between 20.38 mg/100 g (0.month) and 17.58 mg/100 g (month 8) to 21.45 mg/100g (month 0) and 18.64 mg/100 g (month 8) during storage, respectively. Significant variations were observed in tocopherol contents of peanut varieties due to processing., Japan Oil Chemists Soc, Deanship of Scientific Research at King Saud UniversityDeanship of Scientific Research at King Saud University [RG-1435-049], The authors would like to extend their sincere appreciation to the Deanship of Scientific Research at King Saud University for its funding the Research group NO(RG-1435-049).
