What science says technique parameter “chestnut leads to distillates with a higher amount of phenolic compounds and coloring intensity than oak”
chestnut → produces → distillates with a higher amount of phenolic compounds and coloring intensity
ingredient property “but were low in ash, crude fat, and crude protein contents”
chestnuts → have → low crude fat content
nutrition finding “as well as being one of the few fruits that do not contain gluten.”
chestnut fruit → does not contain → gluten
compound effect “Due to the high commercial value of chestnut, a statistical analysis of the obtained results was also conducted to define the tocopherol and tocotrienol profile as a reliable indicator of a specific chestnut variety.”
tocopherols and tocotrienols → can be used to discriminate → chestnut varieties
nutrition finding “The benefits that this fruit can provide for human and animal health are numerous.”
chestnut fruits → provide → health benefits
