- Observation Green walnuts contained exceptionally high concentrations of carotenoids, especially β-carotene at 629.7 ± 39.4 mg/kg.
- Observation Walnut shells were the richest source of phenolic compounds among the walnut fractions analysed.
- Observation Walnut shells contained ellagic acid at 713.3 ± 7.6 mg/kg.
- Observation Walnut shells contained catechin at 71.9 ± 1.2 mg/kg.
- Observation Tocopherols were mainly concentrated in the walnut kernel, dominated by γ-tocopherol at 226.9 ± 8.1 mg/kg.
