A comprehensive insight into peanut storage: patterns of quality changes, pathways of quality deterioration, and storage strategies.

ABSTRACT: Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is a major oilseed, possessing a high nutritional significance and economic importance but is very susceptible to postharvest spoilage. Despite considerable research, the multifaceted mechanisms underlying quality deterioration remain fragmented, lacking comprehensive integration across deterioration pathways, detection technologies, and storage strategies. This review systematically synthesizes contemporary progress in peanut storage science: (i) quality dynamics (sensory attributes, lipid oxidation, protein structure, and enzymatic activity) under environmental variation; (ii) key deterioration pathways (oxidative rancidity, fungal contamination, and pest infection); (iii) quality detection technologies (conventional and nondestructive, assessed by sen
