Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Groundnut kernel tannin content ranged from 100 to 623 mg/100 g.
- Observation Ionizable iron ranged from 136 to 2178 µg/100 g.
- Observation Phytate phosphorus ranged from 415 to 655 mg/100 g.
- Observation Soluble zinc ranged from 776 to 951 µg/100 g of kernels.
- Intervention effect Overnight water soaking decreased most minerals and trace elements in groundnuts.
- Intervention effect Overnight soaking decreased tannins and soluble zinc in groundnuts.
- Intervention effect Germination increased ionizable iron by 50%.
- Intervention effect Ionizable iron as a fraction of total iron rose from 10% in ungerminated to 23% in 72-hour germinated kernels.
- Intervention effect Soluble zinc as a fraction of total zinc rose from 18% in ungerminated groundnuts to 31% after 72 hours germination.
- Association Tannin content was negatively correlated with ionizable iron in ungerminated and germinated kernels.
