Abstract :In this study, some engineering characteristics (physical properties, colour characteristics, coefficients of static friction and mechanical behaviours) of the shelled and kernel of Çakıldak and Foşa hazelnut cultivars cultivated in Türkiye were investigated for harvest and post harvest applications. The moisture contents of Çakıldak and Foşa cultivars for shelled hazelnut 8.69-7.56% (% wet basis) and kernel hazelnut 5.37- 4.64% (% wet basis), respectively. Statistically significant (p<0.01) differences were observed in fruit mass, hundred fruit mass, fruit volume, bulk density and true density of hazelnut cultivars in shelled and kernel cultivars. Çakıldak cultivar showed the highest L* value in shelled fruits and the Foşa cultivar in kernel fruit hazelnut. The highest coefficient of static friction values showed on the rubber surface among the two cultivars for both shelled and kernel. As a result of the mechanical tests, a statistically significant difference was observed in both cultivars at the different loading speeds and axes for rupture force values. Knowing the engineering characteristics (physical properties, colour characteristics, coefficients of static friction and mechanical behaviours) of hazelnut cultivars is thought to be an important data source and contributes to the cleaning, transportation, packaging, storage, processing, classification and engineering studies be developed for harvesting and threshing and post-harvest applications.Keywords : Fındık çeşitleri, fiziksel ve renk özellikleri, statik sürtünme katsayısı, mekanik davranışlar.
