Sound inshell runner-type peanuts, manually damaged inshell peanuts, shells, sound kernels, deskinned kernels and skins were stored in separate flasks under an atmospheric relative humidity of 100% at 28°C. After 5 d, water was adsorbed at levels of 1.2, 1.7, 3.9, 0.9, 1.0 and 9.5 g/100 g dry material, respectively. Surface disinfected components were inoculated with conidiospores of Aspergillus parasiticus NRRL 2999 and incubated under the same conditions. The time required for visible growth of the fungus was 8, 6, 4, 12, 10 and 3 d, respectively. The time for appearance of the conidiospores was 14, 10, 6, 16, 13 and 6 d. After a 3-wk incubation period, aflatoxin levels in peanut components were 111.4, 159.1, 4.4, 58.7, 99.0 and 1.5 μg/g, respectively.

The impact of animal-based food production on climate change drives the development of plant-based alternatives. We demonstrate the use of colloidal thermogelation on a real nanoemulsion system to create structured gels that could be of interest for thermo-mechanical processing of next-generation plant-based food applications. We use a commercial pea protein isolate (PPI) without further purification to stabilize a 20 vol% peanut oil-in-water nanoemulsion at pH = 7 by high-pressure homogenization (HPH) and demonstrate the temperature induced gelation behavior of the nanoemulsion as a function of the HPH processing parameters.

Black oilseed crops are rich in diverse phenolic compounds and have excellent antioxidant activities, as reported in traditional Chinese medicine. Testa (seed coat) and peeled seeds (cotyledon, embryo, and other structures) are the seed's crucial components, contributing to the variation in phytonutrient, phenol content, bioactive component, and protective and pharmacological effects. However, comprehensive and comparative information on total phenol, flavonoid, antioxidant, and metabolic profiles in black seed testa and peeled sesame, soybean, peanut, and rapeseed seeds is rare.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination (AC) increases as the severity of drought stress increases in peanuts. Identifying drought-tolerant (DT) genotypes with resistance to colonization and/or infection may aid in developing peanuts resistant to aflatoxin contamination in the semi-arid tropics. The goal of this study is to identify DT genotypes with seed coat biochemical resistance to infestation and aflatoxin contamination.

Compared to the laboratory preparation of biochar, there is less research on the adsorption of antibiotics by industrial production of biochar in water. In this study, three types of industrial production biochar (peanut shell biochar, sludge biochar, and perishable waste biochar) were selected, and their adsorption performance for tetracycline in composite-polluted water was systematically studied. The results indicated that the Freundlich equation could well fit the adsorption isotherms of the three types of biochar for tetracycline.

Soybeans and peanuts belong to the leguminous family and are common causes of food anaphylaxis. Symptoms range from oral allergy syndrome to severe breathing difficulties, anaphylactic shock, and even death. But the allergens causing allergies are different, and the severity of symptoms are different.
