2009
Altuntas, Ebubekir | Erkol, Mehmet
The size, colour, level of internal damage and external damage of walnuts are four important quality factors. Colour properties (L', a', b', hue angle and chroma values) of Bilecik, Yalova-1 and Yalova-3 shelled walnut varieties as a function of moisture content were determined. The average L' values of shelled walnuts decreased with increase in moisture content for Bilecik, Yalova-1 and Yalova-3 walnut varieties. All colour characteristics were affected by the moisture content studied.
