Fatty Acid Composition and Antioxidant Activity of Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
Products
Department of Molecular Biotechnology, College of Life and Environmental Sciences, Konkuk University, Seoul 143701, Republic of Korea
Use of groundnut products in feed and food industry has increased steadily over the past decade and
produce large variety of nutrients for human and animal nutrition. The aim of the study presented in this
paper was to investigate fatty acid composition and antioxidant activity in groundnut and various ground-
nut products. Whole kernel, oil, cake and grits of groundnut were investigated. Total fat content was ex-
tracted from the samples by supercritical fluid extraction with CO2 , and fatty acid profile was determined
on gas chromatograph equipped with flame ionization detector. Most prevalent fatty acids in groundnut
and groundnut products, except in groundnut oil, were C16:0, C18:2ω6, C18:1, and C18:3ω3. All ex-
amined samples have had PUFA/SFA ratio higher than 0.4, and thus, groundnut and its products can be
considered as favorable. Examined groundnut and groundnut products have had ω6/ω3 ratio higher than
4 (preferred ratio is less than 4), Meanwhile, whole kernel, seed oil and groundnut cake extracted by su-
