Effect of Drying Conditions and Fruit Size on Some Quality Traits of Hazelnut Cultivars During Storage

Abstract

Objective: The main aim of the research was to assess the quality traits of 18 mm and 16 mm sized ‘Palaz’, ‘Tombul’ and ‘Çakıldak’ hazelnut cultivars, which were dried cold dried at 2 °C and 7 °C, overshadowed room conditions, and under direct sunlight throughout storage. Materials and Methods: Hazelnuts were kept under conditions at 70-85% relative humidity (RH) and 20-25 °C for 9 months. Measurements of fruit and kernel weight, core cavity, black tip kernel rate, moldy kernel rate, rotten kernel rate, defective kernel rate and lemoning rate were performed in the 0th, 3rd, 6th and 9th months. Results: At the end of the storage, it was observed that the 18 mm size and 7 °C cold-dried ‘Tombul’ hazelnuts had lower fruit and kernel weights compared to other drying conditions. ‘Palaz’ hazelnuts, which 18 mm in size and dried at 2 °C cold, had a higher core cavity than dried under sun and shade conditions. It was determined that 18 mm in size and ‘Tombul’ hazelnuts dried at 2 °C cold had higher black-tipped kernels (except for shadow) and moldy kernels, and less rotten kernels than other drying conditions. A higher lemoning rate was obtained from the 18 mm-sized and sun-dried nuts of ‘Çakıldak’ and ‘Tombul’ cultivars than other drying conditions. In the 18 mm size and shade-dried nuts of ‘Tombul’ cultivar, lower internal defective rate was measured than to other drying conditions. Conclusion: In the research, it was concluded that drying methods and fruit size can affect the quality of stored hazelnut. When evaluated holistically, it was observed that the cold-dried fruit of the Çakıldak cultivars, which has a size of 16 mm, had lower black-tipped kernel, moldy kernel, rotten kernel and defective kernel rate.
