On another 78 experimental samples, oil content was first obtained using the n.m.r. method and the Soxhlet values were predicted using the above functional relationship. On the 78 samples the predicted values were highly correlated (r=0.972) with those obtained by Soxhlet extraction. The n.m.r. method is rapid, easy, acurate and non-destructive publisher: John Wiley & Sons date: 1985 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://oar.icrisat.org/3181/1/JSFA_36_3_162-166_1985.pdf identifier: Jambunathan, R and Raju, S M and Barde, S P (1985) Analysis of oil content of groundnuts by nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry.
