| Abstract: |
Peanuts (Arachis hypogaea
Linn.) are grown on commercial scale
in India and other countries for its
kernel,
which is used for extracting oil and for
making other value added products. Large
quantities of peanut shells are available
in industries involved in oil and other
product manufacturing. Scientists at
Philadelphia University have evaluated
potential use of peanut shells as a source
of fibre, worth utilizing in nonwoven
erosion control materials. They also
developed a method of separating the
fibres from the hulls.
