Macadamia nuts

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). 

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...

Considering the production of world s most popular tree nuts (Table 1.1), almond ranks first on a global basis with a production of 683,286 MT (shelled), followed by hazelnut (512,200 MT shelled), cashew (394,632 MT shelled), walnut (382,675 MT shelled), and pistachio (445,500 MT unshelled) in 2006-2007. The production of ranaining four tree nuts (Brazil nut, macadamia, pecan, and pine nut) is around 132,918 MT (shelled) in the same year. Moreova, world s chestnut production is 1,164,959 MT (unshelled) in 2006 [2], To the best of our knowledge, Uttle information abont the production of acorn nut, beech nut, betel nut, heartnut, and hickory nut is available.

In 1995, researchers conclnded that tree nuts, as one of the integral plant foods in the traditional Mediterranean diet, had been overlooked by the nntrition research community [2]. In 1997, the World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) acknowledged that nuts and seeds, which have been common in hnman diets since preagricultnral times, are nntrient dense and a good source of unsaturated fats, protein, dietary fiber, phytochemicals, and micronutrients [3]. Interestingly, the WCRF referred to Brazil nuts, macadamias, and cashews as seeds [3]. According to the WCRF, nuts needed to be identified separately in human studies to better evaluate their protective effects on human health [3]. 

The data on hazelnut proanthocyanidins are limited. Recently, Gu et al. [49] found that some tree nuts are good sources of proanthocyanidins with contents ranging from 0.05 in chesmut to 500.7 mg/100 g in hazelnut (Table 13.4). The order of total proanthocyanidin concentration content in tree nuts was as follows hazelnut > pecan > pistachio > almond > walnut > cashew > chestnut. No proanthocyanidins have been detected in Brazil nut, macadamia, and pine nut [49]. Among the proanthocyanidins, polymers are most abundant in hazelnut and some other tree nuts such as ahnond, pecan, and pistachio. Average intake of proanthocyanidins is estimated at 58mg/100g in the United States [49].
