Some Nutritional Characteristics of Fruit and Oil of Walnut (Juglans regia L.) Growing in Turkey
نویسنده
چکیده
Walnut (Juglans regia L.) were evaluated for some physical properties and chemical composition. Ripe fruits were determined for moisture (2.71 %), crude protein (14.6 %) crude fibre (1.8 %) ash (1.57 %), crude energy (576 Cal) ether soluble extract (24.71 %), nut (10.5 g) and kernel (5.09 g) veights. Relative density, refractive index, free fatty acids, peroxide value, saponification number, unsaponifiable matter were established in the walnut oil. The main fatty acids identified by gas chromatography were palmtic (6,4 %) oleic (13.4 %), linoleic (55,3 %) and linolenic (8,7 %) acids. The mineral contents of walnuts were established by using Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-AES).
