Advances in the Research of Preparation Technology, Nutrient Composition Change, Processing and Utilization of Germinated Peanuts

Germinated peanut has unique flavor, crisp texture, and rich in resveratrol. It has attracted much attention due to a variety of functions, such as anti-oxidation, anti-obesity and reducing blood lipid. This paper reviews the preparation technology of germinated peanuts, compares the effects of different peanut varieties on the content of resveratrol in the germinated peanuts, systematically analyzes the changes in the nutrient composition during the process of peanut germination, and elaborates the status and application prospects of the domestic and foreign germinated peanuts in the food and the existing research base, in order to promote the healthy and rapid development of the germinated peanut industry and provide theoretical reference for the deep research of germinated peanuts for the scientific research workers.
