Influence of variety and location on fatty acid composition and protein content of peanuts (Arachis hypogaea L.) in two locations of Türkiye

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the fatty acid compositions, oil quality factors (such as oleic/linoleic acid ratio and iodine value), and protein content of four peanut varieties (Masal, NC-7, Halisbey, and Rigel) grown during the main season in two different locations (Şırnak and Osmaniye).Material and Methods: Field experiments were conducted using a randomized complete block design with three replications at each location. It was determined that the oil and protein contents of peanut seeds, as well as oil quality parameters, including fatty acid composition, the oleic/linoleic acid ratio, and iodine value.Results: The effect of variety was significant (p
