The quality of crude oil extracted from Tombul (Round) hazelnut, grown in the Giresun province of Turkey, was evaluated for its fatty acid, triacylglycerol (TAG), tocol, and phytosterol compositions. Oleic acid contributed 82.78% to the total fatty acids, followed by linoleic, palmitic, and stearic acids. Among 12 TAGs separated, 11 were identified (including one unknown): LLL, OLL, PLL, OOL, POL, PPL, OOO, POO, PPO, SOO, and PSO (where P, palmitoyl; S, stearoyl; O, oleoyl; and L, linoleoyl). The main components were OOO (71.31%), OOL (12.26%), and POO (9.45%), reflecting the high content of oleic acid present in hazelnut oil. Seven tocol isoforms (four tocopherols and three tocotrienols) and eight phytosterols as well as cholesterol were positively identified and quantified; among these, alpha-tocopherol (40.40 mg/100 g) and beta-sitosterol (134.05 mg/100 g) were predominant in hazelnut oil and contributed 78.74 and 81.28% to the total tocols and phytosterols present, respectively. Tocotrienols were detected in small amounts (1.02% to the total tocols). The crude hazelnut oil extracted from Turkish Tombul hazelnut, thus, serves as a good source of nutrients, bioactives, and health-promoting components.

The purpose of this research was to investigate the characteristics of different plant-based sources rich in protein, chickpea flour (CPF), hazelnut oil cake (HOC), soy protein isolate (SPI) and concentrate (SPC), and pea protein isolate (PPI) for their subsequent use in the manufacture of meat analogs. The protein sources were analyzed for dry matter, ash, protein, fat, starch, dietary fiber, water holding capacity, granulosity, color parameters (L*, a*, b*, C*, YI), antioxidant activity before and after gastrointestinal in vitro digestion, and amino acid and mineral compositions. The highest dry matter content was determined in hazelnut oil cake and pea protein isolate.

Background: Hazelnut (), a significant woody oil tree species in economic forests, faces production constraints due to biotic stresses, with Hazelnut Husk Brown Rot, caused by the pathogenic necrotrophic fungus (), being the most severe. To date, limited information is available regarding the resistance of hazelnuts to . To better understand the mechanisms of resistance to .

Detecting adulteration in extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is particularly challenging with oils of similar chemical composition. This study applies near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) and machine learning (ML) to detect EVOO adulteration with hazelnut, refined olive, and olive pomace oils at various concentrations (1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 40%, and 100% m/m). Savitzky-Golay filtering, first and second derivatives, multiplicative scatter correction (MSC), standard normal variate (SNV), and their combinations were used to preprocess the spectral data, with Principal Component Analysis (PCA) reducing dimensionality.

Background: Dietary habits are influenced by environmental factors. Among these environmental factors are the place of residence, cultural characteristics, food accessibility, and economic status, which can all contribute to changes in the dietary pattern. Migration is another factor that can influence changes in the aspects mentioned above.

Hazelnut oil cake (HOC) has the potential to be bioactive component source. Therefore, HOC was processed with a solid-state fermentation (SSF) by with two steps optimization: Plackett-Burman and Box-Behnken design. The variables were the initial moisture content (X: 30-50%), incubation temperature (X: 26-37 °C), and time (X: 3-5 days), and the response was total peptide content (TPC).
