Macadamia

ISl-2-Chloro-4-pyridinyl-ISl-phenylurea. CPPU [68157-60-8] (47) is a phenylutea plant growth regulator that has been used experimentally to increase fmit size in apples, grapes, kiwifmit, macadamia nuts (Macadamia temifolid) cotton, small grains, and ornamentals (23). 

Minerals. Nuts are considered to be a good source of minerals essential for nutrition, supplying elements of copper, manganese, iron, and sulfur (see Mineral nutrients). The values for the mineral constituents of many nuts shown in Table 2 are averages of available analytical data. Values for the mineral content of the peanut kernel (28) and ash constituents in the macadamia kernel (29) and cashew (26) have also been reported. Chufa nuts have a high sihcon content.

Nuts and Nut Products. Nuts are used mainly as edible products and marketed either with or without the shell, as the demand requites. The most popular nuts ia the shell are English walnut, filbert, almond, Brazil nut, peanut, pistachio, and the improved, or paper-shell, pecan the most popular salted and roasted nut kernels iaclude these as well as the cashew, macadamia, and pignofla. Each year more nuts are shelled ia ceatraHy located plants and marketed as meats. The annual per capita consumption of shelled tree nuts ia the United States rose from 0.78 kg in 1987 to 1.00 kg in 1992 (132). 

Commercially important nuts ia world trade iaclude almond, Bra2il nut, cashew, chestnut, coconut (copra), filbert, macadamia, palm nut, peanut, pecan, pignoHa, pistachio, and Knglish walnut. Coconut, palm nut, peanut, as well as babassu, oiticia, and tung, are important sources of oil for soap, paint, varnish, as well as many other domestic and iadustrial uses. 

IMacadamia. Macadamia nuts are native to Queensland, AustraUa, but are also grown commercially in South Africa and Guatemala. In the United States, production of macadamia nuts in Hawaii has increased threefold since 1971. In 1991—1992, yearly in-the-sheU production was 49,500 t, valued at 34,650,000. Macadamia nuts are also grown in small plantings in Califomia. 

Similarly, two sulfur compounds from predators, 3,3-dimethyl-l,2-dithiolane and (E)-(Z)-2,4,5-trimethyl-A -thiazoline had no effect on wild roof rats, Rattus rattus, in a Hawaiian macadamia orchard (Burwash etal, 1998).

Major uses added to the Simazine 80W label included US southern turfgrass species for sod production, sugarcane, pineapple, and strawberry (1961) apple, sour cherry, macadamia nut, asparagus, orange, lemon, perennial grass grown... 

In subsequent years, additional uses were approved in the United States for Atrazine 80W fall application for quackgrass control in com (1961) macadamia nut, chemical fallow following wheat or ecofallow and perennial ryegrass (1962) southern turfgrass species for sod production (1963) pineapple (1964) sorghum and conifer (1965) and rangeland (1975). 

Macadamia nuts, guava, refined sugar, and molasses are the only raw agricultural commodities treated with atrazine that are consumed as foods. There are no known residue concentrations of atrazine or its chloro-metabolites above their analytical limits of detection (LODs) in any of these four foods. In evaluating Equation (31.2), the residue concentration in each of these four foods is assumed to be equally likely to be any value between zero and its LOD (i.e., uniformly distributed between zero and the LOD). 

Nuts, i.e., almonds (Amygdalus communis L.), hazelnuts (Corylus avel-lana), walnuts (Juglans regia), cashews (Anacardium occidentale), pecan nuts (Carya illinoinensis (Wangenh.) K. Koch), Brazil nuts (Bertholletia excelsa), pistachio nuts (Pistacia vera), macadamia nuts and Queensland nuts (Macadamia ternifolia), and products thereof, except nuts used for making distillates or ethyl alcohol... 

There are a number of minor oils, all of high value, most of which are marketed mainly either for medical purposes or for their flavour. Olive, evening primrose, borage, fish oils and cocoa butter are described elsewhere. Others include hazelnut, walnut, macadamia, almond, apricot, pumpkin, poppy-seed and rice bran oils. The process of testing for authenticity of these oils should be approached in the same way as for the bulk oils above, i.e. fatty acid profile, sterols, tocopherols and triglyceride composition. However, there is little generally available published material on the ranges of values to be expected... 

Cassava, lima beans, linseed, bamboo sprout, macadamia nuts, hydrangea, Rosaceae family (plum, peach, pear, apple, bitter almond, cherry). Sorghum species (Johnson grass, sorghum, Sudan grass, arrow grass), Linum species (flax, yellow pine flax)...
