Abstract
Seven varieties of groundnuts of varying kernel size were selected to study the relation between kernel size and nutritional quality. Results indicated that no significant (r = 0.22) difference was found in oil contents among the various varieties which ranged from 46 to 52%. Protein contents ranged from 17 to 25.2%. Protein content of small seed varieties was high compared with bold seeded varieties, whereas sugar content of bold seeded varieties was higher. No significant differences in amino acid and fatty acid compositions were observed among the varieties tested. In vitro digestibility of protein tended to be slightly less but not significantly so in bold seeded varieties compared with small and medium size varieties. Niacin content of bold seeded varieties was slightly higher compared with other varieties.
