Abstract
Grollndnut (Arachis /typogaea L.) is growth in over 100 countries in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It is a rich source of oil, protein, minerals, and vitamine. Over the years there has been a significant chan'ge in grollndnut utilization. While the domestic utilization of crushed (oil) groundnut decreased by 1-64%, the food uses increased by 11-71% in different regions. Peanut hutter, roasted in·shell and shelled nuts, and freshly harvested in-shell boiled lluts are most commonly used food form of groundnut. A substantial amount of roasted groundnut seeds are used in the preparation of candies and confections in USA. There two product are also considered to be the major growth area in groundnut consumption in developing countries. The groundnut cake provides partially defeated flour, protein concentrates and protein isolates which are now used in the preparation of groundnut based·fortified foods. The various physical, sensoD, chemical, and nutritional factors determine the quality of groundnut seeds. Aflatoxin content, presence of chemical residues in the seed, and high fat content have potential to limit the use of groundnut as a food in human dieL Options to minimize the adverse efl'ects been developed. ICGV 86564 in Srilanglca, and ICGVs 89214, 88438, and 91098 in Cyprus have been released for commercial cultivation. Sweet testing valencia types with 3-4 seeded pods are available for use in breeding. Efforts ar on to reduce the duration of large seeded varieties but with improved seed quality to fit them in cropping pattern prevalent in Asian countries
