Abstract

This study was conducted to determine high quality walnut types and their antimicrobial properties in the Hasankeyf District of Batman province in Turkey between 2008 and 2009. This research is very important because no studies have been performed in the districtabout walnut trees until now. At the end of the study, it was determined that average fruit weight, kernel weight and kernel ratio of the selected types varied from 11.32 to 15.33 g, from 6.24 to 7.77 g and from 49.78 to 57.17 g, respectively. In addition, it was found in the antibacterial activities of extracts in ethanol and water of the walnut types. Microorganisms were inhibited by the walnut types in different ratios.

 

Key words: Walnut, selection, antibacterial activity, water and ethanol.
