Özet:

In this study it was observed that the effects of gamma irradiation and steam sterilization processes on the chemical, physical and sensory quality attributes; which are used to eliminate the microbiological problems that occur in pine nut kernels, the product of the Pinus pinae tree species.

The data obtained the from experiments that carried out directly after the processes and during the period of 3 months showed the change in the water content and peroxide values of the pine nut kernels were found to be statistically significant (p<0,05). In addition the effect of the two processes on the physical quality attributes such as texture and color were found to be statististically in significant (p<0,05). Also two processes have no adverse effects on the sensory characters.

In result of the study it was found gamma irradiation and steam sterilization have no adverse effects on the quality attributes of the pine nut kernels and both processes could be used for pine nut disinfection.
