| Abstract:
The results concerning the lipid oxidation status obtained in various storage trials are summarized and compared. For the storage trials of in-shell, shelled and peeled almonds, the parameters taken into consideration were the packaging materials and/or the storage temperature. The experiments on in-shell almonds confirmed that the shell is a good barrier to oxygen; the experiments on Ferraduel and Supernova cvs showed that peeled kernels can be stored at 4°C for more than one year if they are packed into a high barrier material; using a low barrier packaging, a one year storage could only be achieved when a cultivar with a high content of natural antioxidant (tocopherols) is used. | |
