The size, colour, level of internal damage and external damage of walnuts are four important quality factors. Colour properties (‘L', ‘a', ‘b', hue angle and chroma values) of Bilecik, Yalova-1 and Yalova-3 shelled walnut varieties as a function of moisture content were determined. The average ‘L' values of shelled walnuts decreased with increase in moisture content for Bilecik, Yalova-1 and Yalova-3 walnut varieties. All colour characteristics were affected by the moisture content studied.
