Physical, Proximate and Functional Properties of Flour and Protein Isolate from Four γ-Irradiated Groundnut Cultivars
Author(s): Alabi AO and Falade KO Alabi AO and Falade KO
Contamination of groundnut seeds with microorganisms and insect’s results in high post-harvest losses of groundnut cultivars. γ-irradiation of groundnut could be a better alternative to chemical preservatives which have been implicated for their residual effect, environmental hazards and carcinogenicity. However, the effect of γ-irradiation at low to high doses on groundnut cultivars and their constituents has not been fully investigated. Four cultivars of groundnut (Arachis hypogeae) namely bororo-white, bororo-red, bororo-hausa and campala were γ-irradiated (2-10 kGy) using 60Co source. Non-and γ-irradiated groundnuts were defatted using solvent extraction method to oil obtain oil and flour. Protein was isolated by isoelectric precipitation method, and freeze-dried.
