SUMMARY

Groundnut samples from 10 varieties grown in Malaysia supplied by the field crop branch of MARDI were analysed for moisture and oil content. The oils extracted from these nuts were analysed for physico-chemical characteristics. The oils extracted from most of these nuts have low FFA, colour value and unsaponifiable matters and therefore would be acceptable for refining. The oil content in these nuts varies from 45% - 49%.
