The aim of this study was to investigate the quality of defatted walnut kernel derived from oil extraction by Soxhlet method, to walnut genotypes. Antioxidant activity, total phenol and individual phenolic compounds were determined. Total phenolic content ranged from 3791.13–9408.6 mg GAE/100 g and antioxidant activity from 35.03–75.89 mmol Trolox/100 g, depending on the genotypes. Fifteen phenolic compounds were detected. The data provides evidence on high phenolic contents and high antioxidant potential of defatted walnut kernel and can be a basic ingredient in the food industry.
