Chestnut Castanea sp.) is consumed in a number of preparations including roasted, boiled, and candied. The sensory quality and volatile composition of roasted chesmut has been studied [44-47], In contrast to the other tree nuts discussed in this chapter, chesmut is comparatively low in fat and protein and high in carbohydrate [44]. This, at first, might seem to have important ramifica-...

Chestnut has been part of the staple diet in many countries for centuries. It has a sweet and nutty flavor, and its texture is like a firm baked potato and not crunchy compared to other nuts. Chestnut, which is classified as a temperate nut, requires cold winters and warm summers. It has been grown on all continents in northern hemisphere and Austraha [2,3]. hi Asia, the Japanese chestnut Castanea crenata) has been cultivated since the eleventh century and the Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima), possibly for 6000 years. In the Mediterranean region, chestnut has been cultivated for at least 3000 years [2]. In Europe, chestnut spreads from south to north and from Mediterranean to Sweden. It was brought to the Alps and Appennines, and new villages were built only where chestnut could grow and produce fruits [4].
