Study of protein isolate from green gram yielded protein 64.4%, total lipids 1.

8%, and total

carbohydrate 27.64%. Water absorption was 2.26 g/g, oil absorption 1.24 g/g, emulsion capacity 31.24
g/g and nitrogen solubility index 6.8 g/g.

Peanut skins are a processing waste product with potential as a low-cost source of polyphenols for
nutraceutical or functional food ingredient use. Aqueous extractions of peanut skins and subsequent
concentration of these extracts can result in normally innocuous of heavy metals present to be
increased to concentrations of human health concern. Adsorption utilizing waste biomasses is a
promising method of removing these contaminants from extracts. Peanut hulls and chitosan cross-
linked beads were evaluated as possible adsorbents.

Peanut shells are a test adsorption material, the influences of key factors (pH, reaction duration,
initial concentration and adsorption dosage) on its adsorption of heavy metal ions including 𝑃𝑏 2+ ,
𝐶𝑢2+ and 𝑍𝑛2+ were studied.

Biomass materials as adsorbent applied for controlling heavy metals contamination. Biomass
materials have the advantage of widespread-sources, low-cost, directly-treated and reduce the cost
of the treatment of heavy metals. The biological assay has advantages like metal ions can be selectively
removed with low concentrations of heavy metals, easy separation and recovery at heavy metals and
the sustainability-adsorbent in easily regenerated and recycled.
