Macadamia physiology and nut quality (Video, Feb/March 2020 MacGroup)

2020 | Penter M | Video

South African expert Mark Penter has completed extensive research on South African orchards during challenging climatic seasons and led numerous research trials to improve on-farm practices which directly impact kernel quality and post-harvest efficiency.

Macadamia physiology and nut quality (Feb/March 2020 MacGroup)

2020 | Penter M | Presentation

South African expert Mark Penter has completed extensive research on South African orchards during challenging climatic seasons and led numerous research trials to improve on-farm practices which directly impact kernel quality and post-harvest efficiency.

MC12002 Developing a commercial shelf-life test for macadamias

2015 | Jones K | Research report/Update

A commercially viable, cost-ffective, rapid test has been developed that allows the macadamia industry to assess the shelf-life and quality of raw and roasted macadamia kernel.

MC10008 Developing a commercial test for macadamia shelf life; proof of concept

2011 | Jones K | Research report/Update

This report provides outcomes from the Macadamia  Shelf Life: Proof of Concept project to the funding body and stakeholders. The  aim of this project is to demonstrate the efficacy of using NIR and/or E nose  technology to predict the potential shelf life of macadamias. The project has demonstrated that a practical, rapid and cost-effective test can be developed which will distinguish between batches of raw kernel, with long or short shelf-life.  The report also details the pros and cons of different technologies and  provides an action plan for development of an industry standard test.

MC06010 Optimising kernel processing for shelf-life

2010 | McConchie C | Research report/Update

Final report on research project to understand factors affecting kernel quality and shelf life.

Management of after roast browning in macadamia

2006 | McConchie C, Albertson P | Research report/Update

Final Report Research Project MC01008. The current project has provided tools for processors to predict the roasting response of raw kernel prior to roasting.

Postharvest removal of distal end browning in macadamia nut kernels in South Africa

2004 | Kaiser C | Research report/Update

A literature review to understand the causes and physiology of the browning reactions in 2003 and subsequent funded research in 2004 in an effort to reduce or eliminate the browning.

UV-fluorescence in macadamia kernel

2003 | Albertson P, Kowitz T, McConchie C | Research report/Update

The aim of the current project was to investigate the use of UV-light (100-380 nm) to detect differences in kernel quality.

Use of NIR to predict roasting response

2003 | Wesley I, Kalitsis J, Albertson P, De Giovanni C, McConchie C | Research report/Update

The first step to developing NIR methods for sorting for roasting response is to translate the customer expectation into measurable properties.

Use of NMR and NIR to detect kernel immaturity

2003 | De Giovanni C, Albertson P, Wilkie J, Wesley I, McConchie C | Research report/Update

Signals from nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy were successfully correlated to the oil content of dried macadamia kernel.
