Performance Evaluation of Industrial-Scale Licensed Hazelnut Storage under a Pure Nitrogen Atmosphere

Öz

Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) quality preservation during long-term storage is essential for maintaining commercial value. This study evaluated an industrial-scale licensed hazelnut storage system operating under a pure nitrogen atmosphere. Shelled Giresun Quality Round hazelnuts were stored in galvanized steel silos equipped with SCADA-based monitoring. Oxygen concentration, temperature, relative humidity, kernel moisture content, and kernel yield were monitored to assess storage stability and quality preservation. Following silo filling, oxygen concentrations rapidly decreased and remained low, corresponding to nitrogen concentrations of approximately 84.7–99.3%. Average temperatures ranged from 15.4 to 22.8 °C, while relative humidity varied between 71.1% and 75.6%. Kernel moisture content decreased slightly from 5.43% to 5.26%, 5.44% to 5.05%, and 5.28% to 4.92% in the monitored silos. Kernel yield remained stable, indicating preservation of physical quality characteristics. The results demonstrated relatively stable storage conditions and limited variations in kernel moisture and yield. Although oxidative, microbiological, and aflatoxin-related parameters were not investigated, the results align with previous studies supporting controlled nitrogen atmospheres for hazelnut storage. These industrial-scale findings may contribute to optimizing licensed storage systems for high-oil agricultural products.
