Abstract
The oil content of 'Hasanbey' apricot kernels (Prunus armeniaca L.) was created from harvest-1 (14.6.2011) (35.80 %; v/w) and harvest-4 (6.7.2011) (49.00 %; v/w). In addition, the oil content of 'Kabaasi' apricot kernels is created from 28.0 to 49.2 % (v/w) between the same harvests. The oleic acid of 'Hasanbey' nut oil is created from 42.94 to 59.13 % (v/w) from harvest-1 to harvest-4. The linoleic acid concentration in the same variety ranged from 44.99 to 31.71 % (v/w) depending on harvest times. In addition, 'Hacihaliloglu' apricot nut oil contained 45.74 % (harvest-1) to 66.79 % (harvest-4) oleic acid and 43.50 (v/w) to 24.43 % (v/w) linoleic acid at harvest-1 and harvest-4, respectively. The gamma-tocopherol content of Hacihaliloglu ranged from 47.63 mg/100 g (v/w) to 27.15 mg/100 g depending on maturation.
