The information presented is part of an investigation that seeks a better understanding of lipid oxidation in walnuts. The data shown regarding edible coating, are one of the strategies used to investigate the effect over oxidation stability. For the present experiments, unshelled walnuts were coated with different formulations, and then stored at 37 °C, 20% RH for 6 weeks. After that time, coated nuts were taken out, cold pressed to extract the oil and analysed. The main data obtained from the oil analysis of walnuts were acid value, peroxide value, and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Data show the variation of the parameters during the storage time at 37 °C, considering the different formulations of edible coatings and the control. These data are relevant to walnuts exporters to have a comparison point. |
