The peanut (Arachis hypogaea), also known as the groundnut, [2] goober (US), [3] goober pea, [4] pindar (US) [3] or monkey nut (UK), is a legume crop grown mainly for its edible seeds. It is widely grown in the tropics and subtropics by small and large commercial producers, both as grain legume [ 5 ] and as an oil crop. [ 6 ]
Peanut allergen powder is a powder that is manufactured from peanuts (Arachis hypogaea) and packaged in pull-apart color-coded capsules for dose escalation and up-dosing, and in a sachet for maintenance treatment. [2] [6]
[2] [3] At least one species, the peanut (Arachis hypogaea), is a major food crop species of global importance; some of the other species are cultivated for food to a small extent in South America. Other species such as A. pintoi are cultivated worldwide as forage and soil conditioner plants, with the leaves providing high-protein feed for ...
Ara h 1 is a seed storage protein from Arachis hypogaea (peanuts). It is a heat stable 7S vicilin-like globulin [1] with a stable trimeric form [2] that comprises 12-16% of the total protein in peanut extracts. [3] Ara h 1 is known because sensitization to it was found in 95% of peanut-allergic patients from North America. In spite of this high ...
The free acid 3-NPA is an irreversible inhibitor of mitochondrial respiration, and thus the compound inhibits the tricarboxylic acid cycle. This inhibition caused by 3-NPA is especially toxic to nerve cells and represents a very general toxic mechanism suggesting a profound ecological importance due to the big number of species producing this ...
Freshly dug peanuts (Arachis hypogaea), indehiscent legume fruits. Grain legumes are cultivated for their seeds, [21] for humans and animals to eat, or for oils for industrial uses. Grain legumes include beans, lentils, lupins, peas, and peanuts. [22] Legumes are a key ingredient in vegan meat and dairy substitutes. They are growing in use as a ...
Peanut agglutinin (PNA) is plant lectin protein derived from the fruits of Arachis hypogaea. Peanut agglutinin may also be referred to as Arachis hypogaea lectin. Lectins recognise and bind particular sugar sequences in carbohydrates; peanut agglutinin binds the carbohydrate sequence Gal-β(1-3)-GalNAc.
