Summary

PEANUT KERNELS WERE GAMMA IRRADIATED AT 0, 2.5, 5.0, 10, AND 20 KILOGRAYS, AND STORED 1 YEAR AT AMBIENT AND FROZEN: 259 K (-14 DEG C) CONDITIONS. IRRADIATED PEANUTS LOST GERMINATION CAPABILITIES DURING STORAGE. MOULDS WERE DETECTED ONLY ON PEANUTS IRRADIATED WITH 2.5 KILOGRAYS AND STORED AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. PEANUT OIL IN KERNELS STORED AT 259 K WAS COMPARATIVELY MORE STABLE THAN THAT IN PEANUTS STORED AT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE. OXIDATION OF OIL WAS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED BY IRRADIATION. INDICATIONS ON FATTY ACID CONTENT AND SDS-PAGE PROTEIN PATTERNS ARE ALSO GIVEN.
