Summary

The storage of four varieties of almonds, three Spanish and one Californian (USA), was investigated at two temperatures (8 and 36 °C), two packaging atmospheres (air and N2) and two treatments (raw and roasted) throughout several months, in order to study the storage behaviour. Five chemical parameters were determined during the whole time of the experiment: moisture, fat content, peroxide value, alpha-tocopherol content and level of aflatoxins.
