Description

Abstract: The effects of varying doses of UV and ultrasound (US) treatments on the concentrations of resveratrol, piceid and total stilbenes, and sensory overall acceptance of peanuts were evaluated using response surface methodology. UV and US treatments resulted in increased (? < 0.05) resveratrol, piceid and total stilbenes but decreased overall acceptance compared to untreated controls. US produced higher concentrations of stilbenes compounds but lower overall acceptance compared to UV treatment. The optimum US process will produce 2.64
