The quality of macadamia kernels stored in simulated bulk retail dispensers

Macadamia kernels (raw and roasted, salted) were stored for 36 days under conditions similar to those found in supermarket bulk retail dispensers (21.7°C and 55.5% relative humidity). Samples were removed from storage at regular intervals and assessed for quality by objective (moisture content, peroxide value and free fatty acid level) and subjective (kernel colour grade and sensory evaluation) methods. Between four and eight days, significant (P
