“…Two production processes were studied (i.e., using either raw or cooked chestnuts by-products), being evaluated their influence on the overall process yield, physicochemical properties and quality stability during storage. In fact, chestnut processing (e.g., roasting, boiling, drying, pan, microwaving, osmotic dehydration, γ-irradiation, electron beam irradiation, radio frequency treatment, storage, extrusion, and candying procedures) as well as the different stages of industrial chestnut processing significantly affect the total phenol content, total antioxidant activity, phenolic compounds levels, as well as protein, fat, ash, moisture, organic acids contents, make the chestnut palatable, increase the shelf life, and improve the overall quality [16,[26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]. However, the extent and trend of the changes (increase or decrease effect) highly depend on the type of processing applied but, some studies confirmed that cooked chestnuts are a good source of organic acids and phenolic compounds, possessing low fat contents, properties related with health benefits [31].…”
