Peanut () is an important oilseed crop of the world. Peanut seed oil (PSO) contains linolenic acid, oleic acid, also a good source of omega-6 fatty acids and omega-3 fatty acids. It contains an abundant amount of vitamin E which also act as an antioxidant. The research work was carried out to estimate the suitability of utilization of peanut oil from different available peanut varieties, i.e., Bari 2001, Bari 2011 in cereal-based products. The main objective of the study is the characterization of peanut seed oil acquired from Bari 2001 and 2011 variety, and explored its application in cookies and shelf life of the product. The purpose of the study is to determine the oil contents and characterization, its application in cookies and shelf life of the product. The data thus collected was analyzed by applying standard statistical procedures. Peroxide, saponification, and free fatty acids in Bari 2001 and Bari 2011 were 1.51 ± 0.09 meq O/kg and 1.47 ± 0.07 meq O/kg, 195.81 ± 2.47 mgKOH/g and 191.60 ± 2.66 mgKOH/g and 0.96 ± 0.07% and 0.91 ± 0.04% respectively. Cookies were prepared by incorporating PSO oil (Bari 2011) at concentrations of 5% (FC), 10% (FC), 15% (FC), 20% (FC), 25% (FC) and along with control (FC). Storage study (60 days) assessed the quality, sensory evaluation and oxidative stability of products in order of most suitable to least accepted as FC > FC > FC > FC > FC > FC The cookies produced by 15% replacement peanut seed oil resulted in an acceptable product.

Unhealthy dietary patterns are important risk factors for metabolic syndrome (MS), which is associated with gut microbiota disorder. High oleic acid peanut oil (HOPO) and extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), considered as healthy dietary oil, are rich in oleic acid and bioactive phytochemicals, yet efficacy of MS prevention and mechanisms linking to gut microbiota remain obscure. Herein, we investigated HOPO and EVOO supplementation in attenuating diet-induced MS, and the potential mechanisms focusing on modulation of gut microbiota. Physiological, histological and biochemical parameters and gut microbiota profiles were compared among four groups fed respectively with the following diets for 12 weeks: normal chow diet with ordinary drinking water, high-fat diet with fructose drinking water, HOPO diet with fructose drinking water, and EVOO diet with fructose drinking water. HOPO or EVOO supplementation exhibit significant lower body weight gain, homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), and reduced liver steatosis. HOPO significantly reduced cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) level, while EVOO reduced these levels without significant difference. HOPO and EVOO prevented gut disorder and significantly increased -diversity and abundance of . Moreover, HOPO significantly decreased abundance of and . These findings suggest that both HOPO and EVOO can attenuate diet-induced MS, associated with modulating gut microbiota.

Review
Environmental costs associated with meat production have necessitated researchers and food manufacturers to explore alternative sources of high-quality protein, especially from plant origin. Proteins from peanuts and peanut-by products are high-quality, matching industrial standards and nutritional requirements. This review contributes to recent developments in the production of proteins from peanut and peanut meal. Conventional processing techniques such as hot-pressing kernels, use of solvents in oil removal, and employing harsh acids and alkalis denature the protein and damage its functional properties, limiting its use in food formulations. Controlled hydrolysis (degree of hydrolysis between 1 and 10%) using neutral and alkaline proteases can extract proteins and improve peanut proteins' functional properties, including solubility, emulsification, and foaming activity. Peanut proteins can potentially be incorporated into meat analogues, bread, soups, confectionery, frozen desserts, and cakes. Recently, pretreatment techniques (microwave, ultrasound, high pressure, and atmospheric cold plasma) have been explored to enhance protein extraction and improve protein functionalities. However, most of the literature on physicochemical pretreatment techniques has been limited to the lab scale and has not been analysed at the pilot scale. Peanut-derived peptides also exhibit antioxidant, anti-hypertensive, and anti-thrombotic properties. There exists a potential to incorporate these peptides into high-fat foods to retard oxidation. These peptides can also be consumed as dietary supplements for regulating blood pressure. Further research is required to analyse the sensory attributes and shelf lives of these novel products. In addition, animal models or clinical trials need to be conducted to validate these results on a larger scale.

Ethanol (Et) has been suggested as a substitute for hexane (Hx) for use in the extraction of oils from different oleaginous matrices. In this study, Et and Hx were used to extract the residual oil present in a peanut press cake (PPC). Certain variables, such as temperature, solid/solvent ratio and the number of contact stages, in the sequential cross-current extraction process were evaluated; additionally, the effects of these variables on oils (POEt and POHx) and defatted solids (DSEt and DSHx) were explored. Hx exhibited an extraction yield of 86 ± 2% in two stages at 55 °C and a solid/solvent mass ratio of 1/4. Compared with Hx extraction, to achieve an Et extraction yield of 87 ± 4%, it was necessary to use a higher temperature (75 °C), a greater amount of solvent (solid/solvent ratio of 1/5) and a greater number of contact stages (3). POEt and POHx presented compositions in terms of fatty acids and triacylglycerols and physical properties similar to that of cold-pressed peanut oil (CPPO). POEt showed a more intense green/yellow hue and higher free acidity (1.47 ± 0.03%) than POHx and CPPO (0.82 ± 0.04 and 0.43 ± 0.02 free acidity mass %, respectively), indicating that the deacidification and bleaching steps in refining should be encumbered. DSEt and DSHx exhibited high protein contents (>45% by mass) and nitrogen solubilities (86 ± 6 and 98 ± 1%, respectively), indicating that they could be used to obtain proteins.

Manufacturers add sugar and fully hydrogenated vegetable oils to peanut butter to avoid its oil separation during storage. Unfortunately, hydrogenated oils are significant sources of saturated fats, and reducing their consumption is challenging for food scientists without affecting the desired characteristics of food products. Therefore, in a preliminary study, 1%, 1.5%, and 2% of three natural waxes (rice bran, carnauba, and beeswax) were added to the natural peanut butter to test their efficacy as a stabilizer. Rice bran and carnauba wax added to peanut butter presented a higher elastic modulus (G') and lower oil separation percentages than beeswax. However, no significant differences were found between the different percentages of waxes. Thus, in the final experiments, 1% of these selected waxes (rice bran and carnauba waxes) were added directly to the roasted ground peanut. Due to the difficulty of adding high melting point waxes to the peanut butter, a second experiment added wax oleogel (rice-bran and carnauba wax) to defatted peanut flour. After four weeks of storage, all of the samples were examined for their texture (TPA) and oil separation. The sample with directly added bran wax had the highest values for spreadability and firmness, and the lowest oil separation, which was 11.94 ± 0.90 N·s, 19.60 ± 0.71 N·s, and 0.87 ± 0.05%, respectively. In the peanut flour sample, the spreadability, firmness, and separated oil of the rice bran wax oleogel added sample were 46.95 ± 0.99 N·s, 66.61 ± 0.93 N, and 1.57 ± 0.07%, respectively. However, the textural properties of the rice bran wax oleogel added sample were close to the commercial peanut butter (natural and creamy). Therefore, the results indicate that the rice bran wax oleogel could be the potential replacement of the fully hydrogenated oil as a stabilizer.

INTRODUCTION
The wild allotetraploid peanut contains a higher oil content than the cultivated allotetraploid . Besides the fact that increasing oil content is the most important peanut breeding objective, a proper understanding of its molecular mechanism controlling oil accumulation is still lacking.
METHODS
We investigated this aspect by performing comparative transcriptomics from developing seeds between three wild and five cultivated peanut varieties.
RESULTS
The analyses not only showed species-specific grouping transcriptional profiles but also detected two gene clusters with divergent expression patterns between two species enriched in lipid metabolism. Further analysis revealed that expression alteration of lipid metabolic genes with co-expressed transcription factors in wild peanut led to enhanced activity of oil biogenesis and retarded the rate of lipid degradation. In addition, bisulfite sequencing was conducted to characterize the variation of DNA methylation between wild allotetraploid (245, WH 10025) and cultivated allotetraploid (Z16, Zhh 7720) genotypes. CG and CHG context methylation was found to antagonistically correlate with gene expression during seed development. Differentially methylated region analysis and transgenic assay further illustrated that variations of DNA methylation between wild and cultivated peanuts could affect the oil content altering the expression of peroxisomal acyl transporter protein ().
DISCUSSION
From the results, we deduced that DNA methylation may negatively regulate lipid metabolic genes and transcription factors to subtly affect oil accumulation divergence between wild and cultivated peanuts. Our work provided the first glimpse on the regulatory mechanism of gene expression altering for oil accumulation in wild peanut and gene resources for future breeding applications.

Comparative Study
Processing technology has a significant effect on the functional quality of vegetable oil, but the exact mechanism is not yet very well known so far. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of extract methods on the composition and nutrition of peanut oil. Peanut oil was prepared by cold pressing, hot pressing, and enzyme-assisted aqueous extraction, and their trace components were determined by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Serum and liver samples from Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats fed with different extract oils were profiled by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and LC-MS. The component analysis showed that different process technologies cause differentiation of trace active ingredients. Metabolomics analysis revealed that a high-fat diet causes serum and hepatic metabolic disorders, which can be ameliorated by hot-pressed and hydroenzymatic peanut oil, including downregulation of partial amino acids, fatty acids, phospholipids, and carbohydrates in cold-pressed peanut oil as well as the upregulation of palmitic acid, uric acid, and pyrimidine in enzyme-assisted aqueous oils. Canonical correspondence analysis (CCA) uncovered strong associations between specific metabolic alterations and peanut oil trace components. The data obtained in this study offers a new insight on the roles of oil processing.

Sticky traps are standard tools for monitoring German cockroaches (Blattella germanica L.); however, because they lack an attractant, their ability to catch cockroaches is by chance and largely dependent upon the location of placement and length of time they are left in place. Currently, highly effective and economical cockroach attractants are not available. Food-based attractants have the potential to be employed in sticky traps and enhance their effectiveness on trapping German cockroaches. We conducted laboratory and field experiments to evaluate the effectiveness of novel food-based attractants. Laboratory results showed that sticky traps containing the following attractants: apple oil, blueberry oil, orange oil, or their combination, fish oil, peanut butter, Roach lure tablet, and bacon extract had significantly higher trap catch compared to those traps that do not contain an attractant. Apple plus blueberry oil mixture and Roach lure tablet enhanced the trap catch by ≥ 103%, and bacon extract enhanced the trap catch by 92% in the field assays. Apple plus blueberry oil mixture and Roach lure tablet were the most promising attractants based on laboratory and field experiments. Apple plus blueberry oil mixture aged for 2 wk was as attractive to German cockroaches as fresh mixture.

Cultivated peanut ( L.) is an important economic and oilseed crop worldwide, providing high-quality edible oil and high protein content. Seed size/weight and oil content are two important determinants of yield and quality in peanut breeding. To identify key regulators controlling these two traits, two peanut cultivars with contrasting phenotypes were compared to each other, one having a larger seed size and higher oil content (Zhonghua16, ZH16 for short), while the second cultivar had smaller-sized seeds and lower oil content (Zhonghua6, ZH6). Whole transcriptome analyses were performed on these two cultivars at four stages of seed development. The results showed that ~40% of the expressed genes were stage-specific in each cultivar during seed development, especially at the early stage of development. In addition, we identified a total of 5356 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between ZH16 and ZH6 across four development stages. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) based on DEGs revealed multiple hub genes with potential roles in seed size/weight and/or oil content. These hub genes were mainly involved in transcription factors (TFs), phytohormones, the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, and fatty acid synthesis. Overall, the candidate genes and co-expression networks detected in this study could be a valuable resource for genetic breeding to improve seed yield and quality traits in peanut.

Meta-Analysis Review
Exposure to mycotoxins in food is largely unavoidable, and concerns about their health effects are growing. Consumption of vegetable oils such as peanuts oil has increased, hence several studies have been conducted on concentration of aflatoxins (AFs) in peanuts oil. Search was performed in Scopus and PubMed databases on prevalence and concentration of AFs in peanuts oil from 1 January 2005 to 15 April 29, 2022. Prevalence and concentration of AFs in peanuts oil was meta-analyzed based on country and type of AFs subgroups. In addition, health risk was calculated using monte carlo simulation method. Pooled prevalence of AFB1 in peanuts oil was 47.9%; AFB2, 46.45%; AFG1, 46.92% and AFG2, 54.01%. The Overall prevalence of AFTs was 49.30%, 95%CI (35.80-62.84%). Pooled concentration of AFB1 in peanuts oil was 2.30 μg/kg; AFB2, 0.77 μg/kg; AFG1, 0.07 μg/kg; AFG1, 0.28 μg/kg. The sort of country based on mean of MOEs in the adults consumers was Japan (47,059) > China (17,670) > Ethiopia (7,398) > Sudan (6,974) > USA (1,012) and sort of country based on mean of MOEs in the children was Japan (120,994) > China (46,991) > Ethiopia (19,251) > Sudan (18,200) > USA (2,620). Therefore, adults consumers were in considerable health risk in Ethiopia, Sudan and USA and for children in USA (MOE < 10,000).
