“…Concerning protein, all initial amounts were in agreement with those published by several authors (4.3-10.87 g protein/100 g dry weight) [18,[22][23][24]26]. Nevertheless, significant differences between treatments were found, being again the lowest values obtained by the OD and OD + D methods, as expected.…”

“…Regarding fat content, all values were low, as expected, ranging from 2.22 g/100 g in OD samples to 3.13 g/100 g for D, all on a dry weight basis. These results are in accordance with the bibliography (0.49-4.0 g fat/100 g dry weight) [18,[22][23][24]. Significant differences were observed between methods, particularly between the FD and D samples on one side, and the OD and OD + D on the other, because the mass increase induced by sucrose on the OD treatments reduced the relative proportion of the remaining components, therefore, with lower fat content on a dry basis.…”

“…This shows general agreement with scientific literature emphasizing that chestnut blight is the most serious threat to chestnut tree populations throughout Turkey [26][27][28][29]. However, gall wasp, which was first observed in 2014 in Yalova, Turkey [7], is now seen as a major threat as well, based on damages observed in Europe [30].…”

Socioeconomic Perspectives on Household Chestnut Fruit Utilization and Chestnut Blight Prevention Efforts in Turkey

Exotic pathogens, within the center of genetic diversity for the species, compromise European chestnut populations in Turkey. In Turkey today, the species is of tremendous economic, ecological and cultural importance. At this time of severe exotic pathogenic pressure on a highly-valued forest species, we ask, how does awareness of diseases and treatments as well as value for chestnut trees affect the efforts of households to manage pests and diseases of chestnut trees in Turkey? We conducted 96 surveys in 34 villages in 10 provinces across Turkey to investigate awareness of diseases and other challenges to the chestnut population, chestnut harvesting habits, family value for chestnuts and efforts to mitigate pest and disease pressure. We analyze our results using cluster and regression analysis. Our results show that based on analysis of all observed characteristics, our research sites in Turkey break cleanly into groups based on production level. Further, results demonstrate significant correlation between amount of chestnut-derived income and awareness of pests and diseases as well as the likelihood of households enacting disease mitigation measures. These results also demonstrate correlation between observed awareness of diseases and pests and the likelihood of households enacting disease mitigation measures.

“…These data are somewhat higher than those reported by Bellini et al (70) Ash content in the 'Lovran Marron' is 2.43 g per 100 g dm on average. According to the literature data, the average ash content in other cultivars of the sweet chestnut ranged from 1.02 to 3.22 g per 100 g dm (25,31,36,40,(46)(47)(48)51,52). Regarding micronutrients, Mn (2.14 mg per 100 g dm) was the most abundant in the fruits of the 'Lovran Marron', followed by Fe, Zn and Cu at 1.57, 1.53 and 1.04 mg per 100 g dm, respectively.…”

Summary'Lovran Marron' is the only known traditional Croatian variety of the sweet chestnut. The objective of this study is to specify qualitative and quantitative morphological characteristics and to analyze the chemical composition of the 'Lovran Marron' fruits as well as to compare them to Marušnjak fruits (trees from the 'Lovran Marron' seed) and fruits from the local natural sweet chestnut population. Seven morphological characteristics were measured: fruit mass, height, width and thickness, scar length and width, and the length of the longest intrusion of the seed coat into the kernel. Eight qualitative characteristics were estimated: embryony, degree of penetration of the seed coat into the kernel, fruit shape, glossiness and colour, kernel colour, hairiness towards the top of the fruit and the existence of longitudinal stripes. 'Lovran Marron' has desirable qualitative and quantitative fruit characteristics. The Marušnjak trees mostly have intermediate morphological traits of fruits in comparison with 'Lovran Marron' and trees from the natural population. 'Lovran Marron' had the smallest mass fractions on average of: K, Mg, Ca, Na, Mn, Cu and Fe. The highest mass fractions on average of these macro-and microelements were characteristic of the trees from the natural population. The highest average content of carbohydrates was recorded in the 'Lovran Marron' and the lowest in the fruits from the natural population. The Marušnjak fruits had intermediate water, protein, ash, carbohydrates, and macro-and microelement content. The content of Cd and Pb was lower in all samples than the maximum allowed amounts in the sweet chestnut fruits.
