Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
It is not clear why the working conditions tested are used.
It is necessary to support the results obtained with bibliography.

Comment 1: Line No. The study compared the results of pretreatment, processing technology and quality of walnut oil seems to be very informative.
Comment 2: Line No. 52 & 53: Do this prevention of memory impairment in mice was linked with anti-inflammatory behavior only?
Comment 3: Line No. 57 & 58: Now here does this walnut oil has showed its functional behavior towards inflammatory bowel disease and ulcerative colitis; its anti-aging and anti-oxidative properties only. Rather I would suggest a link here that the anti-inflammatory action is more dominant in case of ameliorating the inflammatory bowel disease and ulcerative colitis. And for above mentioned health outcome of preventing memory impairment, the anti-aging and anti-oxidative potentials would serve more beneficial roles.
Comment 4: Line No. 46 & 52 and so on: Avoid unnecessary line spacing/gapping throughout the manuscriot
Comment 5: Line No. 52: In my opinion after first paragraph on background for the study, there must be a couple of paragraphs on nutritional composition, phytochemical profile, and stability aspects of walnut oil.
Comment 6: Line No. 73: Can you please elaborate what kind of toxins and anti-nutritional compounds have been addressed here?
Comment 7: Line No. 106: Clearly identify the objectives of study at the last paragraph here, and also justify the reason for selecting particular treatments and techniques only i.e. microwave roasting, oven roasting, steaming roasting, screw-pressing, aqueous enzymatic extraction, subcritical butane extraction..
Comment 8: Line No. Rest the whole manuscript is overall well written, results and discussion section has been thoroughly covering required stuff, and therefore the manuscript is recommended slight amendments at the introductory section.
