Abstract
In the last 15 years, extensive research had been carried out on the potential health effects of nuts. Scores of human feeding trials had investigated the effect of nut consumption on blood lipids and other biological indexes of heart diseases. Nut kinds: Almonds (Prunus dulcis), Hazelnuts (Corylus avellana), Walnuts (Juglans regia) and Peanuts (Arachis hypogaea) were used in the present study. The samples were obtained from the local market, in September of the 2009season. The investigation was performed in an endeavor to study the physical properties, the gross chemical composition, caloric value, minerals composition, assessment of the nutritive value of certain nut kinds, separation and identification of lipid fractions, fatty acid composition, studying the influence of roasting of certain nut kinds on gross chemical composition, caloric value, fractionation of phenolic compounds, studying the physico-chemical properties of nuts oil and fractionation of total lipids by TLC technique as well as determination of fatty acids by GL-chromatograms, evaluation of amino acid composition of certain nut kinds, phenolic compounds, vitamin composition and carotinoids content. Effect of the four studied nuts on blood lipid profile (total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, VLDL-cholesterol and triglycerides) in the experimental albino rats, finally, assessment of wheat cake and enriched wheat cake with the four studied nuts. Furthermore, fortification of cake with the four studied nuts, as well as evaluation of their nutritive value.
