Abstract

In a study of the extent of insect damage and determination of quality of groundnuts stored in sacks for 16 months in a warehouse in N. Nigeria, there was found little difference between undecorticated, hand‐shelled and ‘pestle‐and‐mortar’‐shelled nuts, in the loss of weight and production of powder, as a result of attack by insects (mainly Tribolium castaneum), but there were large differences in the build‐up of free fatty acids. The insects are shown to cause breakage of the nuts, but under the conditions of the experiment an unbroken shell provides complete protection of the kernels against the species used.
