Abstract :This study investigated the effect of region on the nut and biochemical traits in Mincane hazelnut cultivar. The study was carried out in the Trabzon insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Black Sea Region); and Sakarya insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Marmara Region); districts, in 2021 and 2022. The material of the study consisted of the nut of Mincane hazelnut cultivar grown in both regions. Depending on regions, nut weight ranged from 1.89 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Black Sea); to 2.14 g insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Marmara);, while kernel weight ranged from 0.96 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Black Sea); to 1.06 g insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Marmara);. The nuts obtained from the Black Sea region yielded the highest total phenolics insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(118.1 mg 100 g-1);. Marmara region’s nuts had the highest total flavonoids insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(8.1 mg 100 g-1); and antioxidant activity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1027.8 and 738.1 µmol 100 g-1 according to DPPH and FRAP assays, respectively);. The results demonstrated the significance of the growing region on the investigated nut and biochemical traits and the superiority of the Marmara region on many quality traits.
