Determining of Some Engineering Properties for Harvest and Post Harvest Applications of Two Common Cultivated Hazelnuts Cultivars in Türkiye

Abstract

In this study, some engineering characteristics (physical properties, colour characteristics, coefficients of static friction and mechanical behaviours) of the shelled and kernel of Çakıldak and Foşa hazelnut cultivars cultivated in Türkiye were investigated for harvest and post harvest applications. The moisture contents of Çakıldak and Foşa cultivars for shelled hazelnut 8.69-7.56% (% wet basis) and kernel hazelnut 5.37- 4.64% (% wet basis), respectively. Statistically significant (p
