Comparative evaluation of protein content in groundnut samples by near infrared reflectance spectroscopy and Skalar colorimetric methods. Current Science, 110(12), pp. 2219-2220.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11766/5589A lot of research has been done in developing groundnut cultivars with highquality oil. As a result, methods for routinely determining oil content and quality have been developed and utilized. However, groundnut is also a source of protein, and obviously, there is a need to develop a rapid, accurate and economic method that can be routinely used for screening a large number of groundnut cultivars for protein content. At the ICRISAT analytical service laboratory, protein (total N) in various crops is routinely determined by colorimetric method using Skalar autoanalyser. However, near infrared reflectance spectroscopy (NIRS) also provides an opportunity to determine protein content in groundnut samples; and the method seems attractive as it is low cost, simple and rapid...PDFCC-BY-NC-4.0comparative evaluationgroundnut samplesJournal ArticleOpen access
