CONCLUSIONS<br />

<strong>Microwave</strong> exposure time and amount <strong>of</strong> air circulation during processing had<br />

a small, but significant effect on peanut flavor attributes. Total <strong>of</strong>fnote was related to<br />

other <strong>of</strong>f-flavors such as cardboardy, ashy, and bitter, and was related inversely to<br />

positive attributes such as roast peanutty and sweet aromatic. <strong>The</strong> treatment <strong>of</strong> 11<br />

minutes without air circulation was the most different because it scored the highest<br />

in total <strong>of</strong>fnote and reached temperatures <strong>of</strong> 128 °C or higher. A short duration<br />

treatment, in which the internal temperature <strong>of</strong> the peanuts does not exceed a<br />

maximum <strong>of</strong> 110 °C, appears to be acceptable for heating for seed coat removal. It<br />

is possible to achieve efficient blanchability in peanuts while preventing microwave-<br />

associated <strong>of</strong>f-flavor. Further research is needed to determine the compounds<br />

responsible for and the possible causes <strong>of</strong> microwave-blanching related <strong>of</strong>f-flavor.<br />
