Not AvailableGroundnut seed has 2-3 times more Zinc (Zn) and Iron (Fe) content than many cereals and is a good source of micronutrients. But high phytate content which is an anti-nutrient may be a bottleneck in making these micronutrients available for consumption. Thus a study was conducted to observe changes in the
phytic acid, Zn and Fe content during different processing.The results propose the benets of water
soaking as a possible alternative and processing technique for reducing phytic acid and improving
mineral (Zinc and Iron) content which can potentially help in alleviating emerging problem of malnutrition.Not Availabl
