ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF NUTILLIUS HAZELNUTS Hazelnut fields, widely spread in the Black Sea coasts of Turkey, have been located within 30 km from the coast towards inland. In the western Black Sea, it starts from Zonguldak (east of Istanbul) and extends to the east over the entire Black Sea like a green strip lying between the sea and the mountains almost until the Georgian boundary. 4.000.000 people are directly or indirectly related to hazelnut which has been produced on an area of 550-600 thousand hectares in Turkey, which is a fact that boosts the socioeconomic importance of hazelnut. Turkey has a distinguished place among the other hazelnut producers in the world, thanks to its high quality, and maintains its leading position in production and exportation. HAZELNUT & BENEFITS The nutritional and sensory properties of hazelnut make it a unique and ideal material for food products. Hazelnuts are a good source of energy with their 60.5% fat content. Many researchers have said that hazelnut consumption has positive effects on human nutrition. These effects may be related to the fatty acid profile of hazelnut lipids which are rich in mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids (82,8% oleic and 8,9% linoleic). Research has shown that types of diet where saturated fat level is low and monounsaturated fat level (MUFA) is high are effective in controlling the blood lipid levels; a similar result can be a positive factor in coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. Furthermore, diets enriched with monounsaturated fat levels (which are contained in hazelnut oil) have similar and positive effects on people such as minimum CHD cases, low blood pressure, low total cholesterol balance, reduction or increment of lipoprotein density (LDL) and reduction of blood triglyceride value. Hazelnut is the second best source of vitamin E after vegetable oils. Vitamin E is a soluble lipid phenolic antioxidant.
