Description
Summary:Twelve hazelnut cultivars taken from Bolu-Akçakoca, West Black Sea Region of Turkey, were evaluated in terms of bioactive properties such as fat and fatty acid composition, protein and amino acid, water-soluble and water-insoluble vitamins, ash and mineral content at 2 consecutive years. Considerable differences were observed among cultivars for all properties (P ≤ 0.05) with the exception of palmitoleic acid, leucine and threonine content (P ≥ 0.05). In all cultivars, fat was the predominant component (56.45–64.11 %) followed by oleic acid (80.59–85.64 %), glutamic acid (2.342–3.543 g 100 g-1), arginin (1.310–2.366 g 100 g-1), α-tocopherol (19.24–378.80 mg 100 g-1), ascorbic acid (1.430–3.207 mg 100 g-1), potassium contents (560.20–893.90 mg 100 g-1).
