• What is groundnut oil manufacturing process?
  • Groundnut oil manufacturing process is divided into two methods, the first is mechanical pressing and the second is solvent extraction. Mechanical pressing can extract 85% oil and the remaining oil is extracted by the solvent extraction method.
  • How to make peanut oil from groundnuts?
  • According to mechanical pressing technology, you can divide the peanut oil production process into three phases. These are peanuts preparation, pressing and crude oil refining. Step 1: Cleaning Step 2: Dehulling Step 3: Cooking Step 4: Pressing Step 5: Filtration After harvesting groundnut are received at processing facilities.
  • How much groundnut is produced in India?
  • The groundnut area in India during 1988¨C89 was 8.3 million ha with a production of 9.6 million tons. The area gradually decreased to current 5.36 million ha (2017¨C18) while the productivity has gone up with the total production of 8.94 million tons (FAO 2017).
  • Does RNA interference reduce linoleic acid in groundnut oil?
  • Through the RNA interference (RNAi) approach, a FAD2 gene was silenced to reduce the content of linoleic acid and increase the oleic acid content and stability of groundnut oil (Zhang et al. 2007; Huang et al. 2008). Seeds from the transgenic plants showed an increased O/L ratio (Huang et al. 2008).
  • What is the first linkage map of groundnut?
  • The first linkage map of groundnut was developed using RFLP markers in a diploid?¡Á?tetraploid cross (Kochert et al. 1996) comprising the A-genome of groundnut. The first linkage map covering all linkage groups of tetraploid groundnut was developed from a cultivated?¡Á?amphidiploid cross, with 370 RFLP markers (Burow et al. 2001).
  • Is GS breeding in groundnut a good idea in India?
  • In India, necessary initiatives have been taken at ICRISAT together with National Agricultural Research System (NARS) partners for deploying GS breeding in groundnut its potential in achieving higher genetic gains. Genotyping for association and linkage analysis is a very crucial step in mapping studies.
