Tree nuts are appreciated worldwide for their desirable flavor attributes and are used extensively in confectionary, bakery, culinary, and other food product apphcations. Consumption of tree nuts has grown in recent years due to reports on the health benefits of a diet rich in nuts and nut oils [1,2]. The world s most popular tree nut is the almond followed by the walnut and the hazelnut (filbert). Other economically important tree nuts include pecan, Brazil nut, cashew, chesttiut, pistachio, macadamia, and pine nut. Despite their economic importance and growing popularity, httle information is available regarding the characteristic flavor and aroma constituents of most tree nuts. In fact, there has been little addition to the published literature on the subject since Maga s 1991 overview on the volatiles in nuts [3]. Hazelnut is an exception and extensive studies have been conducted to identify the volatile components of both the raw and roasted forms of this nut. This chapter presents an overview of the literature on the flavor and volatile compounds in tree nuts and discusses their possible origins.

An overview of some important normalisation institutes active in the field of biodegradable materials is given in Table 5.1. Some other national standards institutes (e.g., in Korea and Brazil) are also active in this field. These institutes mostly work on a voluntary basis under an industry initiative. In many instances however, the original voluntary industry standards are subsequently taken over in legislation and other government documents.
