The results reveal that the consumption of Turkish peanut samples is safe and that they contain health-enhancing nutrients.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:A total of 42 Turkish peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) samples were analysed for their total free amino acid, β-carotene, lycopene, and flavonoid contents, and the total phenols, glucose, fructose and sucrose in the peanut samples were determined as nutrition aspects.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The average values of the total free amino acid, beta-carotene, lycopene, glucose, fructose and sucrose were determined to be 14.4 µmol g−1, 14.4 µg (100 ml)−1, 14.4 µg (100 ml)−1, 1.07 mg g−1, 0.52 mg g−1 and 2.74 mg g−1, respectively.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:The results reveal that the consumption of Turkish peanut samples is safe and that they contain health-enhancing nutrients.
