Determine the effect of production location, maturity, curing, seed moisture, composition, processing and relevant interactions to improve flavor and flavor consistency in peanut varieties and breeding lines. Identify, isolate, and characterize biochemical/bioactive components in peanuts that influence or indicate flavor, flavor potential, off-flavor, or nutritional quality. Evaluate microwave heating to cure and blanch peanuts.
