Aflatoxin Content and Skin Removal of Spanish Peanuts as Affected by Treatments With Chemicals, Water Spray, Heated Air, and Liquid Nitrogen

Abstract: Unshelled Spanish peanuts contaminated with aflatoxin were shelled and treated with forced heated air, liquid nitrogen, H, 0,) HCl, sodium oleate, and water spray. After passing through a whole nut blancher the aflatoxin content and percentages of blanched (skin removed) and whole kernels were determined Blanching percentages were significantly higher for sodium oleate, water spray, liquid nitrogen, and H, 0, than for HCl or heat treatments. The heat treatment produced the highest percentage of whole kernels. … Show more

“…Tannins were known for their metal-chelating properties and peanut skins were reported as an inexpensive source of these compounds that could be complexed and used to remove heavy metals from wastewater [10]. Removal of skins was also proposed as a method to reduce the aflatoxin content of peanuts [11]. This fungitoxicity led to research on the relationship of the content of these compounds with peanut maturity [12].…”

“…Among the various blanching methods, pretreatment with H 2 O 2 solutions was found not only effective in easier removal of the skins. Also it is supposed to separate aflatoxin-contaminated kernels from sound kernels, based on the theory that H 2 O 2 would react with the enzyme catalase in the testa to form water and oxygen [5][6][7]. However, there are no reports comparing the effects of H 2 O 2 treatment on the oxidative stability of blanched or unblanched peanuts before and after roasting.…”
