Peanut and Their Nutritional Aspects-A review,A research paper published in november 23rd,2012,in collaboration with 1.New Maxico State University,Las Cruces,USA:2.Department of Biotechnology,K.L.University,Guntur,India:3.National Peanut Research Laboratory,United States Department of Agriculture,Agriculture Research Service,Dawson,USA;4.Agriculture Research Service,Athens,USA.
This Research paper presents an overview of the peanut composition in terms of constituent biomolecules,and their biological functions.this paper also discusses about the relationshop between consumption of peanuts and their effect on human metabolism and physiology.It highlights the usefullness of considering peanuts as an essential component in human diet considering its nutritional values.
Introduction:It is estimated that as much as 30% of the population from many countries in the world are sufferings from malnutrition.Peanuts,which are a rich source of protein and essential amino acids, can help in preventing malnutrition.
Peanut contain lipids and carbohydrates which are energy rich compounds,capable of complementing the basic energy demands of human body.
Peanut Butter Benefits:
*High Amount Protein-Peanut Butter contains high Amount of Protein.
* High Amount Of Healthy Fats:Fat in Peanut Butter is made of Oleic acid,a Healthy type of Monounsaturated fat that also found in high amount in olive oil.
*Rich In Vitamins & Minerals:100-gram portion of peanut butter provides Following Vitamins & Minerals-
-Vitamin E-45% of the RDA Vitamin E is known as alpha-tocopherol is an anti-oxidative vitamin.it is associated with obstructing the formation of free radicals by preventing the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids present in consumed foods,respiratory membranes,and mithochondrial matrix in human body.It also aids in preventing the oxidation of hemoglobin and red blood corpuscles that helps intracelluler respiration and adeequate exchange of gases.Peanuts,in general,and peanut oil in particular,are efficient sources for supplementing Vitamin E in body.
-Vitamin B3-67% of the RDA Vitamin B3 is known as Niacin.Deficiency of niacin leads to Pellagra,a disease characterized by diarrheaa,dementia and deermatittis.
-Vitamin B6-27% of the RDA ,Vitamin B6.
-Folate-18% of the RDA,Vitamin B9 is useful for human growth and helps the mechanism of normal nerve brain functioning.Folate help protect against Cancers of the lung,colon and cervix.
-Selenium-Salenium is an essential mineral but needed in smaall amounts for the human body.Selenium is believed to delay or prevent the onset of cancer and also has anti-aging effects.
*Lipids in Peanuts:Fatty acids that are present in peanuts belong to the category of lipids,they are not direct source of energy to the body,but acts as an alternate fuel to the body.
The presence of high mono and unsaturated fatty acids reduces the risk of coronary heart diseases.
Peanuts are believed to have originated in Central American region from where they spread to other parts of the world.They are widely cultivated in India,Africa,South America,United States,China and few other countries.
Studies show that peanuts,peanut butter,and peanut oil significantly reduce the risk of heart disease when consumed daily,similar to other nuts.You can consume then after roasting or boiling,and processed into different forms such as peanut butter,candy,chocolates,cakes and others.
Conclusion:Peanuts are an excellent and affordable source of nutrition,supplementing vital nutrients to the human body such as proteins,carbohydrates,lipids,vitamins,minerals,and fiber.peanuts are often referred as poor man's protein but,when taken in adquate amounts in any form,will supplement rich nutrients to the body that can provide growth and energy,and play a vital role in prevention of diseases.
A DIET INCLUDING PEANUTS COULD PROVIDE ALL THESE VITAL NUTRIENTS,AND PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN PREVENTING A PROMOTING GOOD HEALTH.
