Notes:
: :Lipid oxidation is one of the leading causes of deterioration in peanuts. Oxygen concentration plays an important role in oxidation. Oxygen uptake can be impeded by specialized packaging systems or an edible coating, which in turn will decrease the rate of lipid oxidation. Four different formulations of whey-protein-based coatings were used to coat the peanuts. The peanut samples were stored in duplicate at 40 °C, 50 °C, and 60 °C, each for storage times of 0, 5,15, and 45 d. Descriptive analysis results revealed that the rancidity was significantly lower for whey-protein-coated peanuts than for uncoated peanuts. This finding was also confirmed by static headspace GC analysis.
