Prospective exploration of hazelnut's unsaponifiable fraction for geographical and varietal authentication: A comparative study of advanced fingerprinting and untargeted profiling techniques

Enhancing Liquefaction Efficiency: Exploring the Impact of Pre-Hydrolysis on Hazelnut Shell (Corylus avellana L.)

“…Following the reaction, the contents were removed from the reactor and filtered through a Buckner funnel with a paper filter to separate the solid residue from the liquid fraction. The solid remains were then oven-dried and weighed to calculate the percentage of material that had been solubilized, as shown in Equation (1).…”

“…Hazelnuts are widely used in food products due to their flavor, texture, and high nutritional value, including proteins, monounsaturated fatty acids, fibers, vitamins, and bioactive compounds [ 1 ]. Hazelnuts are recommended in moderate doses as a healthy nut because their components, such as monounsaturated fatty acids, fibers, and antioxidants, contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases [ 2 ], reduction in cholesterol [ 3 ], improvement in the lipid profile, and combating of oxidative stress, as well as having anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, and anticancer properties [ 4 ].…”

“…Hazelnuts are a very used nut, consumed either raw or roasted, and that is added as a key ingredient in a wide variety of food and confectionery products. The utilization of hazelnuts as an ingredient in a diversity of sweet and savoury products, besides adding flavour and texture, also contributes to the enhancement of their nutritional value and health benefits [1]. Hazelnuts provide energy and contain several essential nutrients, making them a highly nutritious food source.…”

“…Among their constituents are proteins, including essential amino acids, fatty acids, particularly monounsaturated fatty acids like oleic acid, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, dietary minerals and vitamins, including vitamin E. Besides these macro and micronutrients), hazelnuts also contain bioactive compounds, like phytosterols and phenolic antioxidants [2][3][4][5][6]. All these components have a role in hazelnuts' organoleptic appeal, besides nutritional value, turning them into this versatile 2 ingredient widely used in industrial food products, like chocolate, and for culinary applications, such as pastry products [1].…”
