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.
