Yield, Proximate Composition and Mineral Element Content of Three Cultivars of Raw and Roasted Peanuts

Abstract: Yield of kernels, proximate composition (moisture, crude fiber, fat, protein and ash), and content of nine mineral elements–Ca, Mg, P, Na, K, Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn‐are reported for three cultivars of peanuts, raw and roasted. Roasting resulted in higher concentrations of all nutrients measured in the peanuts except moisture and sodium, whose contents decreased. Although statistically significant differences in nutrient content were noted among cultivars, these differences were of little practical importance. Data … Show more

“…Significant differences were found among the 26 germplasm lines for each of the 11 elements derived fkom peanut seed (Table 2). These results corroborate earlier findings of nutrient differences among cultivars (2,3,4,7,8,10).…”

“…The intact peanut kernels contained proteins levels ranging from 20.7 to 29.7% (relative to total weight) with a mean protein content for all samples of 25.2 ± 2.7% (Table 1), which is in line with known average values of protein content in peanut (Oerise et al, 1974). The differences we see in protein content between the samples can be explained by both genetic and environmental factors, in particular the variety cultured and climate and weather conditions (Cobb and Johnson, 1973).…”

“…Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L) is a seed crop legume that is widely used for human food purposes because of its high nutrition value (Oerise et al, 1974) and sensory attributes. The overall annual production of peanut (including Runner, Virginia, Spanish, and Valencia) in the U.S. in 2014 was 2.4 million tons (Anonymous, USDA NASS report, 2015) harvested from 1.4 million acres.…”
