Abstract :The study aimed to assess the effects of pollinator cultivars on the bioactive compounds of hazelnut cultivars. ‘Tombul’, ‘Palaz’, ‘Çakıldak’, ‘Foşa’ and ‘Allahverdi’ were used as the main cultivars and ‘Sivri’, ‘Kalınkara’ and ‘Yassı Badem’ were used as the pollinators. Self-pollination was accepted as control. It was determined that pollinator cultivars resulted in significant changes in oil and protein ratios and fatty acid composition of hazelnut cultivars mostly because of xenia and metaxenia effects. Protein content and oil content changed depending on pollinator cultivar. The oleic acid was the dominant fatty acid in all hazelnut cultivarsKeywords : Corylus avellana, fatty acid composition, Pollinator, Oil, Protein
