Abstract: A new variety for chestnut was selected from Yanshan variety group of Castanea mollissima. The average nut weight was 11.1g. Total reducing sugar content of nuts was up to 18%. Kernels of ‘Yangguang’ retained original color in the heat treatment with the 100 ℃ water. Nuts of ‘Yangguang’ are used to produce good sensorial products without adding color fixatives and the color-retention techniques.
