4. Introduction
• High nutritional value.
• Each part of plant is valuable.
• High production in country.
• Undergoes to huge losses.
• High susceptibility for value addition.
• Great demand for value added products.
5. • It is major commercial and cash crop of the country.
• It contributes 40% of the area and 30% of the production of
oilseed crop in India and ranks first in area and second in
production in the world.
• Gujarat stands first with total area of 18.4 Lakh hectare with
productivity of 1355 kg/ ha.
• Groundnut seed contains about 46% edible oil, 21.4-36.4%
protein, 6.0- 24.09% carbohydrates.
• It supplies about 5.6 calories per grain when consumed raw and
5.8 calories per grain when consumed roasted.
• It is a rich source of essential amino acids, minerals, and
vitamins.
Groundnut (Archis Hypogaea L.)
7. Groundnut facts
• The botanical name for groundnut, Arachis hypogaea Linn., is
derived from two Greek words, Arachis meaning a legume and
hypogaea meaning below ground, referring to the formation of pods
in the soil.
• Groundnut is known as “King of edible oil seed”.
• It is agreed that it is a very misleading name, considering the peanut
isn't really a nut. It's actually a legume.
• Did you know part of the peanut is used as an ingredient in
explosives?
• Although many know it as the peanut, it also has many other
common names. Among the English ones are goober, groundnut,
pinder, earthnut, monkeynut and ground pea.
11. Groundnut parts
• The testa is composed of carbohydrates,
cellulose, protein, and phenolic
compounds,
• cotyledons have mainly oil and protein.
• The germ contain high proportion of
protein, reducing sugar and disaccharides
(Nagaraj 1988).

Fig. Groundnut parts
Part Content (%)
Cotyledon 92-94% of the seed
Germ 3-4% of the seed
Testa 4-5% of the seed
Hull or husk ~25% of the pod mass
12. Groundnut Kernel
• Untreated- consumed directly.
• Roasted-Groundnut seeds are roasted
using vegetable oil with or without salt
(1-4%) by applying dry heat, or on sand
for an even distribution of heat.
Mechanical roasters are also available in
market.
• Parboiled nut- The freshly harvested
groundnut pods are boiled in 6% salt
solution (brine) for about 20 min and
shelled, before the seeds are consumed.

15. PEANUT CHIKKI
(JAGGERY GROUNDNUT CHIKKI)
• Chikki is a simple combination of
nutritious components like
Groundnuts / Millet / Puffed Rice/
Til (Sesame) bound together with
other components like Jaggery
• It is prepared by mixing roasted and
decorticated groundnut seeds in a
hot slurry of sugar.
• It is highly nutritive and possesses
long life.
• It is hygroscopic in nature so
required dry and moisture
impermeable packaging.

17. Groundnut Oil
• Raw groundnut oil is yellow and has a nutty
odor and taste.
• It contains mucilage, albuminous material, and
free fatty acids.
• To obtain a pale-yellow color, the oil is
neutralized and refined (Nagaraj 1988).
• Groundnut oil is extracted by three methods;
hydraulic pressing, screw pressing, and
solvent extraction. The solvent extraction
process gives a higher oil yield (Kadam and
Chavan 1991).
• The groundnut oil is mostly used as a cooking
medium, and it may be processed into a varity
of products.

23. Groundnut Powder (VERUSENAGA PODI)
• Groundnut powder is prepared
by crushing and grinding the
dried shelled and cleaned
groundnuts seeds.
• It may be natural or defatted
powder.
• Groundnut powder can be used
for direct consumption,
preparation milk, or ingradient
for other recepies.
25. Groundnut chutney
• Groundnut chutney is very simple
and easy to prepare.
• It possesses same nutritional values
as groundnut.
• It is prepared of different
composition to be served with
different recepies.
• Mostly groundnut chutney is liked
with Dosha and Edli.
26. Groundnut milk
• Peanut milk is a imitated beverage
prepared by peanuts and water.
• Recipe variations include salt,
sweeteners, and grains.
• It does not contain any lactose and is
therefore suitable for people
with lactose intolerance.
• It can be substituted up to 20% for
whole milk in preparation of ice-
cream.
28. Groundnut Butter
• Groundnut butter is prepared by grinding roasted and blanched
groundnut seeds.
• Seeds are heated at 160°C for 40-60 min, then cooled,
blanched, and fine milled to a paste.
• Canadian chemist Marcellus Gilmore Edson was the first to
patent peanut butter, in 1884.

30. Groundnut protein isolate (cheese)
•Protein isolates are white, and are free
from nutty flavors.
•Groundnut protein consists of two
globulins namely arachin (93% of
defatted seed protein) and conarachin.
•Replacement levels of 40% and 50%
were found to be optimal in producing
cheese analogs.
•These isolates can replace about 80%
of milk solids without changing the
texture, and about 60% without loss of
flavor, color, or overall acceptability in
the preparation of frozen desserts .

33. Fermented Products
1. Curd (Tofu)
2. Onkom
1. Curd (Tofu)- The groundnut curd is a popular dish in China
and Japan. To prepare the curd, groundnut seeds are soaked
overnight and ground to an emulsion. This fine emulsion is
boiled or steamed and filtered through a fine cloth. A small
quantity of calcium or magnesium sulfate is added to
precipitate and the material is allowed to settle.
Now transfer the material into boxes, lined with cloth
filters or is spread on trays. The curd is served as a soup or
can be deep fried in oil for table purpose.
34. 2. Oncom- It is, popular in Indonesia, generally prepared from
groundnut pressed cake.
• There are two types of oncom, when fermentation is carried
out by Neurospora sp it is red oncom and when fermentation
is carried out using Rhizopus oligosporus it is called black
oncom.
• Oncom is rich in vitamin B12.

35. Groundnut Hull
• Groundnut hull forms about 25% of the total
pod mass produced. The majority of
groundnut hull are either burned, dumped, or
left to deteriorate naturally.
• Hull contains more than 60% fiber, and
therefore, has low digestibility.
• It is utilised in briquetting and cattle feed.
• Ground husk ash can be used substitute for
ordinary Portland cement to some extent.
• Husk is also used for making of Charcoal
and activated carbon.
36.
37. Aflatoxin
• Aflatoxins are toxic metabolites produced by certain fungi in/on
foods and feeds. They are probably the best known and most
intensively researched mycotoxins in the world. Aflatoxins have
been associated with various diseases, such as aflatoxicosis, in
livestock, domestic animals and humans throughout the world.
•Production of aflatoxin due to
the invasion of the fungus
Aspergillus flavus to groundnut
pod/kernel is a serious problem in
the trade of groundnuts.
42. Conclusion
• The study has established the nutritive value of the peanut seeds
which could be considered as good sources of protein and oil.
• They can therefore be used to fight against malnutrition, especially
protein energy malnutrition.
• For soap-making, it will be beneficial to use the oil from Sinkarzie
because of its high saponification number.
• When products which require high protein contents are to be
developed, JL 24 will be useful because of its high protein content.
• The presence of calcium, magnesium and phosphorus is good
indication that the peanut varieties studied are rich in the minerals
for bone formation.
• The oils are non-drying and this qualifies them to be used in the
paint industry.
43. • The large saponification values obtained indicate that the oils
will be useful in the soap industries and in the manufacture of
lather shave creams.
• Groundnut milk can be used as substitute for natural milk to
some extent.
• Afloxine is very harmful for human health so take when
consuming groundnut products.
