Abstract

Arachis hypogaea L. is an annual herb belongs to the Fabaceae family, native to South America origine and has 2n = 40 chromosomes genom. Seeds and groundnut butter are high in protein, fat, vitamins and minerals (Marin, 2011). Unsaturated fats contained are mainly beneficial for the human body by reducing the blood cholesterol levels and also the risk of cardiovascular disease. Unrefined groundnut oil and the refined one can be used in culinary techniques that require high temperatures of cooking (Pîrsan, 1998). In this study are exposed the general aspects on the biological characters of groundnut varieties grown in Romania, namely: Arachis hypogaea L. ssp fastigiata var. fastigiata, Valencia type and Arachis hypogaea L. ssp fastigiata var. vulgaris, Spanish type.
