GROUNDNUT MARKET INQUIRY REPORT, GCC
The Gambia Produce Marketing Board (GPMB), which held a monopoly on groundnut trading, processing, and marketing. The State administered prices through the GPMB, and also dominated the market for inputs through The Gambia Cooperatives Union (GCU), which was also responsible for the physical delivery of groundnuts to the GPMB.
African groundnut oil differs from the South American product in being higher in saturated fats: South American groundnut oil is best described as being closer to a groundnut/sunflowerseed oil blend. It is said to be less stable and is not as suitable for frying. The crude oil is a golden yellow color and contains a smaller
GGC tells Assembly about lack of refinery to produce cooking oil
By Tabora Bojang. Officials of the National Food Security Processing and Marketing Corporation, formerly Gambia Groundnut Corporation, last week informed members of the National Assembly committee on agriculture that Gambia does not have capacity to refine groundnut into consumable oil because there is no refinery at the corporation unlike the days of its predecessor company GPMB.
Crude groundnut oil was obtained by solvent extraction from groundnut seeds and refined. The crude and refined oils were then analyzed. The results obtained show that the acid value decreased from 2.890 to 0.420 mg/KOH. Free fatty acid decrease after refining from 2.82 to 2.02%; phospholipids decreased from 23.11 to 5.53%; copper content decreased from 0.37 to 0.0361% and iron decreased from 3

This study investigated the extraction and characterization of crude and refined groundnut oil. Oil was extracted by Soxhlet method using petroleum ether (60-80) for 8 hours. Refining of oil was

The bleaching process is a crucial process in palm oil refining in which an adsorbent is majorly used to adsorb the unwanted colour pigments and a wide range of other impurities. This study aims to modify three different adsorbents; Groundnut hull, Snail shell, and rice husk and processed them into powder form as Groundnut hull powder [GHP
