The results showed a significant (p < 0.05) decrease in color
acceptance by roasting but it was significantly (p < 0.05) increased
as a consequence of soaking and blanching. Studies of other researchers
on roasted peanuts revealed that this is probably due to
the formation of brown pigments as a result of browning and caramelization
reactions and also the whitening of samples by soaking
and blanching caused by immersion of some undesired pigments
into water
