Abstract

The effects of storing groundnuts for 18 months upon the properties of the proteins in the nuts have been determined. Decreases in total nitrogen, solubility in sodium chloride solution, protein nitrogen, amount of protein precipitable by trichloroacetic acid and digestibility are observed during storage. These changes indicate that the proteins are denatured and have undergone partial break down.
