Summary

Maturity and length of storage times were studied as factors influencing chemical properties of peanuts harvested at six different dates and artificially freeze damaged for 10 hours at -4 deg C. Conductivity of water extracts from freeze damaged peanuts generally decreased with maturity as did the amount of potassium found in the leachates. Acetaldehyde and ethanol are also studied.
