The Pecan tree is a native tree to North America. When early European settlers traveled across the sea to settle in the New World, they found pecan trees located in numerous places in this new land. Since then, the pecan tree has become one of the most important orchard species in terms of acreage. Indians began using pecans almost 8000 years ago in what is now Texas. The first budded pecan trees were produced in Louisiana in the mid-1800s and orchards have been established throughout the Southern
interesting spice because it is produced from the pepper plant’s unripe and still-green drupes. To form black pepper, these drupes are briefly soaked and cooked in hot water to both clean and prepare for them to dry. While drying, cell walls in the pepper are ruptured due to the heat. This rupturing speeds up the work of browning enzymes during drying. The seeds shrink, darkening into a thing, wrinkled black layer, when the drupes are dried in the sun or even by a machine. This drying process can take several

INTRODUCTION Seed proteins can be broadly classified into two categories: housekeeping proteins and storage proteins. Seed storage proteins are group of proteins synthesized mainly during seed development, serve as a major nitrogen reserve which are utilized during germination of the seed. They are the source of necessary free amino acids and nitrogen to the growing plant with the sole purpose of providing proteins (nitrogen and sulphur source) required during germination(Chua et al., 2008). These
The Extraordinary Olive The several uses of the olive tree, Olea europaea L., have long been recognized and celebrated by human civilization. Olive trees have been cultivated since prehistoric times in Asia Minor, and introduced with human migration and trade throughout the Mediterranean and Europe, into Africa, and eventually into New Zealand and North America.
