According to
the results, effects of differing temperature, type of atmosphere or physical shape on PV and K268 were
significantly different (P < 0.05). At the end of storage with PV of 3.41 meqO2/kg and K268 of 3.42 mmol/g
the ground almond sample exposed to air at ambient temperature was the least stable, and the whole
kernels under vacuum kept in a refrigerator at 4 C with PV of 0.69 meqO2/kg and K268 of 0.63 mmol/g
were the most stable form against oxidation.
