Protein and oil content, fatty acid composition and tocopherol concentration were determined for two years in the kernel of ten candidate walnut selections from the high Atlas Mountains in Morocco. Considerable variation between genotypes was found for all parameters. The ranges of protein content (11.58-14.5% of kernel dry weight, DW), oil content (54.4-67.48% of kernel DW), oleic (12.47-22.01% of total oil), linoleic (55.03-60.01%), linolenic (9.3-15.87%), palmitic (6.84-9.12%), and stearic (1.7-2.92%) acid percentages, gamma-tocopherol (188.1-230.7 mg.kg(-1) of oil), delta-tocopherol (23.3-43.4 mg.kg(-1)), and alpha-tocopherol (8.9-16.57 mg.kg(-1)) contents agreed with previous results obtained from other commercial walnut cultivars. The effect of year was significant for all the chemical components, except for oil content and palmitic acid percentage. Some genotypes showed high oil contents and consistently high values of gamma-tocopherol in both years of study. The introduction of these genotypes as new cultivars by vegetative propagation may result in a an increase in quality of the walnuts from the high Atlas Mountains of Morocco, and as a seed source for forest walnut propagation in the same region.

Los rangos del contenido en proteína (11.58–14.5 % del peso seco, PS), contenido en aceite (54.4–67.48 % PS), porcentaje de ácido oleico (12.47–22.01% del aceite total), linoleico (55.03–60.01 %), linolénico (9.3–15.87 %), palmítico (6.84–9.12 %), y esteárico (1.7–2.92 %), contenido en γ-tocoferol (188.1–230.7 mg·kg−1de aceite), δ-tocoferol (23.3–43.4 mg·kg−1) y α-tocoferol (8.9–16.57 mg·kg−1), coincidieron con resultados previos de otros cultivares comerciales de nogal. El efecto del año fue significativo para todos los componentes químicos, excepto para el contenido en aceite y el porcentaje de ácido palmítico. Algunos genotipos destacaron por un elevado contenido en aceite y valores consistentes de γ-tocoferol en ambos años del estudio. Estos genotipos muestran interés para su propagación vegetativa como nuevos cultivares para aumentar la calidad de las nueces del Alto Atlas, así como fuente de semillas para la propagación forestal del nogal en la misma región
