Zusammenfassung

Der Gehalt an Hemicellulose, Cellulose und Lignin von Erdnuß-, Haselnuß-, Sonnenblumensamen-, Kastanie-, Kürbissamen-, Eichel-, und Kokosnußschalen wurde untersucht. Die Zusammensetzung der Paare Sonnenblumensamen und Eichel, Erdnuß und Kürbissamen und Haselnuß und Kastanie sind ähnlich. Daraus kann man folgern, daß sie ähnliche Zellwandzusammensetzungen haben. Große Mengen von Hemicellulose und niedrige von Cellulose und Lignin wurden bei der Bestimmung der Rohfaser aufgelöst.

Summary

The contents of hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin in neutral-detergent fibre, and acid-detergent fibre in hulls of hazelnuts, peanuts, coconuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, acorns and chestnuts were determined. Similar cell-wall characteristics for sunflower-acorn, peanut-pumpkin and hazelnut-chestnut pairs can be deduced from their similar composition. High amounts of hemicellulose and lower ones of cellulose and lignin are dissolved in the process of determining crude fibre. The results are discussed.
