  • What is groundnut kernel yield?
  • Groundnut kernel yield is the product of pod number, number of kernels per pod and weight of individual kernel. Kernels per pod vary from 2 to 6, pods per plant from 50 to 105 and 100 kernel weights from 28 to 62 g. This variation is related to cultivar, spacing, fertiliser and climate.
  • What affects the quality of mechanically expressed groundnut oil?
  • Journal of Agricultu... The effects of particle size, heating temperature, heating time, applied pressure, and duration of pressing on the yield and quality of mechanically expressed groundnut oil were investigated. Shelled groundnuts were manually cleaned and reduced to two particle sizes (finely and coarsely ground).
  • Why do fumigated peanut kernels produce more oil?
  • However, it is worth noting that the fumigated peanut kernels had a higher oil yield (P < 0.05), probably resulting from the damage of protein bodies or other components in the matrix that stabilize oil bodies (Young & Schadel, 1990).
  • Does temperature affect oil yield?
  • Increasing the temperature did not improve the oil yield after 25 min of heating. Oil yield increased with pressures of up to 20 MPa beyond which the yield either levelled off or decreased. The rate of oil expression was increased by an increase in temperature, time of heating, and particle size.
  • What is the oil yield of pressed peanuts before and after fumigation?
  • In the current study, the oil yield of the pressed peanuts before and after fumigation was approximately between 22% and 24%, which was close to the lower limit of the conventional range (20%–30%). These lower yields may have been caused by lower pressure and higher losses in the pressing process (Adeeko & Ajibola, 1990).
