Özet

This research was conducted between 2015-2016 in Hekimhan / Malatya region. 11 walnut genotypes with superior properties were selected from 297 walnut genotypes. In the study, chemical properties of genotypes were determined. The amount of water content of the genotypes was 2.49-5.17%; protein content 11.47-14.43%; ash was found to be 1.52-1.97% and the oil content was 59.21-71.73%. The ratios of palmitic, stearic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic acids among fatty acids were determined between 4.62-6.76%, 2.41-3.65%, 24.79-43.48%, 41.75-57.17% and 6.56-13.94%, respectively. Macro and micro element contents of genotypes were also analyzed in mg / 100 g. Results were determined as 50.76 mg Na, 172.67 mg Mg, 374.64 mg N, 145.49 mg Ca, 4.77 Mn, 4.10 mg Fe, 1.98 mg Cu and 2.38 mg Zn.
