Abstract
This study was conducted in 2015 and aimed to determine the effects of hazelnut drying machine (DM) and traditional–drying (concrete and grass ground; CG and GG, respectively) methods on the physical properties of Tombul, Palaz, and Ordu Levant cultivars. For this purpose, namely nut lenght, nut width, nut depth, kernel lenght, kernel width, kernel depth, nut size, shape index, shell thickness, kernel cavity, shrivel kernel ratio, nut weight, kernel weight, kernel percentage, good kernel (GK), defect kernel (DK), and blanching ability were analyzed. At the end of the study, the GK value was found higher in DM method than on CG and GG methods. Therefore, DM is suitable method for hazelnut drying.
