Commercial Peanut Meal

Properties of Peanut Meal.

“…The practical significance of the results presented above are apparent when compared with similar data on samples of meal taken during a carefully controlled 3-day mill run in which 330 tons of peanuts were crushed for oil (3). The flaked peanuts were heated for approximately 15 minutes in each stack of a four-stack cooker.…”

Improvement in the Color of Peanut and Cottonseed Proteins

“…The improvement in protein color obtained by precipitation at pH 6.0 was probably due to the elimination in the final product of part of the seed-coat pigments, inasmuch as proteins 15 and 19, prepared from practically unpigmented white-skin peanuts by precipitation at pH 6.0, had practically the same color characteristics as proteins 4 and 12 prepared from the same material by precipitation at pH 4.8. Apparently, the red-seed-coat pigments of the peanut are more soluble at pH 6.0 than at pH 4.5 or are less strongly adsorbed on the protein at pH 6.0.…”

Fiber from Peanut Protein

“…Several years ago a number of white-skinned varieties of peanuts were developed and grown on a limited scale in this country [9,10]. One of these varieties was used in the early work on the development of Sarelon.…”
