Page 1
Line 44: 10 quotes collected cultivars, but names only 9. If we compare with the cultivars described in Table 1, is missing Zha71.
page 2
Lines 12 and 13: external standard for a method by gas chromatography is not recommended, because the error is too large. It is preferred internal standardization. Furthermore, no mention reference method of analysis and it was not validated. I could have used a recognized compendial method, as it did in the following paragraph, using methods of AOAC. So, author must focus in the results and claims for its validity.
Lines 41 and 42: also does not talk if the methods by ICP-AES have been validated.
page 3 - same as prior comment.
Lines 12 and 13: "The results of this study are in agreement with previous studies que have shown the kernel percentage of Chinese walnut cultivars to be between 51% and 70%": then why do the research if it has been researched and proven this percentage in previous studies? You must indicate WHY it is important, not just state it.
Table 1: alphabetize. As Hartley cultivar is used for comparison, it should be highlighted
Table 2: badly formatted, making it difficult to read and interpret the results.
Table 3: idem Table 2
Table 4: idem table 1
Abstract: do not talk at any time what the purpose of comparing the nuts with a nut Chinese American Hartley. I think You should mention the importance to health of these high nutritional indices of Chinese nuts when compared to the American nut. The abstract presents many results but without showing the relevance of them.
