Abstract

In this study, fresh green walnuts and walnut kernels were vacuumed and treated with deoxidizers, respectively, and then stored at -18 ℃ for six months.The effects of different treatments on walnut quality were explored by analyzing the color, hardness, weight loss rate, oil quality (fat content, peroxide value, acid value, malondialdehyde), soluble protein, total antioxidant capacity, fatty acid composition, and volatile flavor.Results showed that vacuuming and deoxidizing agent treatments were superior to the control group without any treatment in delaying the browning of fresh green walnuts and walnut kernels, maintaining hardness, reducing weight loss rate, slowing down the increase of peroxide value, acid value, and malondialdehyde, and maintaining the flavor characteristics of fresh walnuts during storage.Vacuuming treatment better maintained the quality of fresh walnuts and walnut kernels with green skin after six months of storage.Comprehensive analysis showed that vacuum treatment could effectively delay the quality deterioration of fresh walnuts and fresh walnut kernels with green skin during frozen storage.This result provides a scientific reference for the frozen storage and preservation of fresh walnuts.
