Characteristics of the chestnuts from Una Sana Canton in a comparation to the other chestnut variety and the influence of different preservation technique on nutritive values
Una Sana Canton (USC) is the richest area in chestnut trees in the north-western part of Bosnia and Herzegovina.This research examined the commercial and nutritive characteristics USC Castaneas compared with other chestnut varieties using different modes of storage under laboratory conditions to establish the optimal preservation method, and to evaluate the effect of applying anti-microbe materials (extract of rosemary and sage) during storage.Carbohydrate concentration was high (45.91%) and chestnuts had a high energy level (757 kJ/100g).Chestnuts stored at low temperature the greatest mass loss, while those stored at room temperature had the least.After monitoring period (room temperature 48 days; cooling storage 90 days; freezing 150 days) of all samples, which were stored by different methods, the surface was visibly contaminated by green mould Penicillium sp., thereby the contamination accured by the cooling method was the smallest with the samples which were treated with the solution made of sage (3x107Penicillium sp.).The surface of the samples which were stored by freezing method was not visibly contaminated.
