: Walnut (Juglans regia L.), which has a wide usage area in the world, is a very important
tree species both ecologically and economically. Its importance is increasing due to its positive effect on
human health through the bioactive components it contains. Walnut seed coat (WSC), which is another part
of the walnut that is not known enough, unlike the parts of the walnut that are widely used in various sectors
such as leaves, fruit and shell, is the main material of this study. Utilizing this material, which is burned or
determined as waste during the process, will prevent both resource waste and ecological pollution. In
addition, it will pioneer innovations in the chemical industry and biomedical fields. Considering this
situation, in the study conducted, bioactive components in WSC were determined. First of all, WSC was
extracted in hexane, which is an important solvent. Then, the components of H-WSC were detected using
the gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method. These components; It was identified as βsitosterol (32.91%), ethyl iso-allocholate (52.06%), 3-(octadecyloxy) propyl (9E)-9-octadecenoate (8.41%)
and santa camphor (4.45%).
