Pistachio nut ( Pistacia vera L.) is one of the most delicious and nutritious nuts in the world. In this study, monoglycerides (0.0–1.5 %) as lipophilic emulsifiers were used to prevent oil separation in pistachio spread A (containing 50.0 % pistachio paste, 30.0 % icing sugar and 20.0 % red palm oil) and B (containing 58.3 % pistachio paste, 25.0 % icing sugar and 16.7 % red palm oil). Changes in rheological behavior of pistachio spreads were investigated. The highest work of shear (which indicates spreadability) was observed in Formulations A and B containing 1.5 % monoglycerides. Addition of emulsifier significantly ( P < 0.05) influenced the consistency index ( K ), thixotropic area ( A ), yield stress ( τ 0 ) and coefficient correlation ( R ) of pistachio spreads. All the pistachio spreads that contained emulsifier exhibited a higher storage modulus ( G ′) than the loss modulus ( G ″).
