High-resolution magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance (HR-MAS-NMR) as quick and direct insight of almonds
Almonds are the tasty seeds of Prunus dulcis plants globally
appreciated for the pleasant palatability and remarkable nutritional
value, therefore it is very spread as snack and as basic
ingredient of the confectionery products. The HR-MAS-NMR is a
simple spectroscopy able to directly and quickly explore the
chemical composition of powdered seed samples dispersed in
D2O. 1H spectra witness the remarkable presence of triglyceride
fatty esters together with sucrose; other minor water soluble
