The studied varieties included 'Constanti', 'Francoli', 'Glorieta', 'Marinada', 'Masbovera', 'Tarraco', 'Vairo', and the advanced new selections '12-350', '13-531', '27-173', '24-53', and '29-148'. Some additional commercial varieties were included as references: 'Marcona', 'D.Largueta', 'Nonpareil', and seven more. Samples were collected from orchards growing under three different environmental conditions: Mas Bove on the Tarragona coast, Gandesa in the Tarragona mountains, and Borges Blanques in Lleida during four years (2005 to 2008). Raw, blanched, and roasted nuts were analyzed for chemical composition (oil, water, fiber, protein, sugars, ash, alpha-tocopherol, and fatty acids), physical properties (weight, shape, color, and texture) and industrial potential (chocolates, roasted snacks, turron, marzipan, slices, daces, and flour). 'Masbovera', 'Constanti', 'Glorieta', 'Vairo', and '12-350' have at least the same industrial potential as the standard references and some of these have better nutritional value and shelf life. 收起
