  • What is groundnut oil manufacturing process?
  • Groundnut oil manufacturing process is divided into two methods, the first is mechanical pressing and the second is solvent extraction. Mechanical pressing can extract 85% oil and the remaining oil is extracted by the solvent extraction method.
  • Why do we dehull peanut oil before oil pressing?
  • The purpose of dehulling before oil pressing is to reduce the absorption of oil by the shell, increase the yield of oil, improve the processing efficiency of the peanut oil processing machine and reduce equipment wear and tear. This oil can also improve cake quality and added value.
  • Why is Groundnut cultivation hampered by Aspergillus flavus?
  • Groundnut cultivation is hampered by Aspergillus Flavus and Aspergillus Parasiticus fungi present in the soil which contaminate groundnuts and some other food crops with aflatoxins. Aflatoxins are associated with acute and chronic toxicities in humans and animals, leading to stunting, liver cirrhosis, tumours and immunosuppressive effects.
  • How do you Dry groundnuts?
  • Drying is done by leaving the pods under the sun on a tarpaulin for 6?7 days until the moisture content is reduced. Nuts can also be dried on a dry cemented floor, but not on bare wet ground/floor. Protect the nuts from moisture. Groundnuts have to be stripped before drying. Do NOT dry groundnuts on their vines, as this attracts moisture.
