Substâncias de reserva de sementes armazenadas de amendoim (Arachis hipogaea L.), produzidas no semi-árido nordestino.

Abstract

The work evaluates the percentages of oil and protein of four “criola” varieties of peanut seeds, produced in the states of Paraíba, Pernambuco, Sergipe and Bahia, throughout ten months of storage, with measurement each two months, in the ambient conditions of Campina Grande and stored in sacks. The results show that the quantity of oil and protein depend upon each variety throughout the period of storage.
