Abstract: | Defatted peanuts are high in protein and low in fat content. A preliminary cost study for defatting Virginia peanuts with
hexane in three all-new hypothetical commerical plants indicates operating cost can be as low as 84 cents/lb of peanuts extracted
when packaged in 502×308 tins. Cost in fully depreciated plants is as low as 61.5 cents for a volume of extracted peanuts
equivalent to the amount of unextracted peanuts normally packaged in 502×308 tins. Process development shows promise for further
reducing these costs which are based on limited exploratory pilot plant research.
