 ABSTRACT

Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important food legume in several developing and developed countries and an oil seed crop belongs to the family Leguminosae. In India, Telangana state is one of the major groundnut growing states. The production and safely storage of groundnut pods by traditional storage methods were not much effective due to sever multiplication of storage pest and fungi. In this paper, we demonstrate the efficacy of triple layer bags (that comprises of two inner high density polyethylene bags and one outer woven polypropylene bag), for protecting pods from quality deterioration due to influence of Caryedon serratus and Aspergillus flavus under 10 and 14% moisture conditions. Results indicate the total oil and protein content was decreased in traditional storage bags in comparison to triple layer bags.

Key words: Groundnut, Aspergillus flavus, Caryedon serratus, Deteriorative changes.
