Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an annual legume which is also known as peanut, earthnut, monkeynut and ground bean. Among the major oil seed crops, groundnut has some specific advantages because of its use in many food products. The present study is planned to characterize different groundnut varieties, grown under similar conditions, for their chemical composition and nutritional assay. Fa...

The groundnut plant has the ability to survive in areas of low rainfall because it is a legume and it increases soil fertility by fixing nitrogen in the soil. The study area is known by erratic and uneven rainfall while groundnut is the main cash crop in the area. The study identified the groundnut market outlets, factor affecting groundnut market outlet choice and identifies farm level women r...

Abstract As a new crop in Malaysia, forty-four Bambara groundnut ( Vigna subterranea L. verdc.) genotypes were sampled from eleven distinct populations of different origins to explore the genetic structure, inconsistency, and fixation index. The groundnut, an African underutilized legume, has capacity boost food nutrition security while simultaneously addressing environmental sustainability, av...

The effect of ingestion of dietary oxidized groundnut oil on the histology of wistar rat brain (cerebral cortex), liver, and kidney were examined. Female weanling rats (Rattus norvegicus) were maintained for 12 weeks on intermittently thermoxidzed groundnut oil at 15% dietary level as part of a balanced diet. Fresh (unheated) groundnut oil served as the control. Histological examination of the ...
