Different seed moisture contents (SMC) and pressing temperatures (PT) were tested for both materials to optimize extraction. For WP, the best results were at 6% SMC and 90 °C PT, while for BP, it was 9% SMC and 150 °C PT. Oil yield from WP was 5% higher than BP under these conditions. Both WP and BP oils met chemical quality standards for virgin oils, but WP oil had higher concentrations of tocopherols and phenolic compounds. The study suggests that using whole peanuts with tegument could eliminate the need for roasting or blanching, reducing labor and energy costs while still achieving high-quality oil.
