Ground Nut- Peanut
Why Groundnut Quality is Important? Groundnuts, also known as peanuts, are widely used in snacks, confectionery, peanut butter, bakery products and edible oil production. Groundnuts are a good source of protein, healthy fats, fibre and essential nutrients. The quality of groundnuts depends on factors such as size, variety, colour, moisture, purity, oil content and kernel quality. High-quality peanuts should have uniform size, good natural colour, fresh taste and a clean appearance. Groundnuts are available in different forms, including raw peanuts, shelled kernels, blanched peanuts, roasted peanuts and peanut splits. Proper cleaning, grading and storage are essential for maintaining quality and shelf life.
What precautions need to be taken while exporting Groundnuts?
- Moisture: Groundnuts should be properly dried and maintained at a suitable moisture level to prevent mould and deterioration.
- Aflatoxin Control: Special attention should be given to aflatoxin testing and control, as peanuts are susceptible to contamination during improper drying and storage.
- Cleaning: Groundnuts should be thoroughly cleaned to remove soil, stones, shells, dust and other foreign particles.
- Quality: Select clean, mature and uniform kernels with good colour, fresh taste and proper size.
- Sorting & Grading: Proper sorting should be carried out to remove damaged, discoloured, shrivelled and insect-affected kernels.
- Pesticide Residues: The product should comply with the permitted pesticide residue limits of the destination country.
- Microbial Safety: Appropriate microbiological testing should be conducted according to the buyer's requirements.
- Packaging: Use clean, strong and moisture-resistant food-grade packaging suitable for international transportation.
- Storage: Store peanuts in a cool, dry and well-ventilated environment, protected from moisture, insects and contamination.
- Handling: Maintain proper hygiene throughout processing, sorting, grading, packing and container loading.
- Pre-Shipment Inspection: Check moisture, aflatoxin, purity, kernel size, colour, foreign matter, pesticide residues and microbiological parameters before dispatch.
