LED Method for increasing tyrosine content in peanut sprout using light emitting diode irradiation

摘要

(A) germinating the peanut seeds by soaking them in a dark condition; And (b) irradiating germinated peanut seeds of step (a) with a light emitting diode (LED) having a primary red light wavelength. The method for increasing the tyrosine content of peanut sprouts as compared to the control, This invention relates to a process for the production of peanut sprouts, to peanut sprouts with increased tyrosine content produced by said process, and to processed foods containing said peanut sprouts.
