WALNUT PROCESSING PLANT
[EIRI/EDPR/1548] J.C. 342, 1049INR, 1050US$
INTRODUCTION
A walnut is an edible seed of any tree of the genus Juglans, especially the Persian alnut, Juglans regia. Broken nutmeats of the eastern black walnut, from the tree Juglans nigra, are also commercially available in small quantities, as are foods prepared with butternut nutmeats.
Walnut seeds are high density source of nutrients, particularly proteins and essential fatty acids. Walnut seeds, like other tree nuts, must be processed and stored properly. Poor storage makes walnut seeds susceptible to insect and fungal mold infestations; the latter produces aflatoxin - a potent carcinogen. Mold infested walnut seed batch should not be screened then consumed; the entire batch should be discarded.
In certain parts of the world, walnuts are locally known as walnüsse, noix, nuz, nuc, akhar, kurumi.
Walnuts are rounded, single-seeded stone fruits of the walnut tree. The walnut fruit is enclosed in a green, leathery, fleshy husk. This husk is inedible. After harvest, the removal of the husk reveals the wrinkly walnut shell, which is in two halves. This shell is hard and encloses the kernel, which is also made up of two halves separated by a partition. The seed kernels - commonly available as shelled walnuts are enclosed in a brown seed coat which contains antioxidants. The antioxidants protect the oil-rich seed from atmospheric oxygen so preventing rancidity.
There are two major varieties of walnuts grown for its seeds — the English walnut and the Black walnut. The English walnut originated in Persia, and the Black walnut is native to the United States. The Black walnut is of high flavor, but due to its hard shell and poor hulling characteristics it is not grown commercially for nut production. The commercially produced walnut varieties are nearly all hybrids of the English walnut.
