Optimization Of A Groundnut Roasting And Decorticating Machine Using Python:- Jonah Henry O

ABSTRACT Roasting of groundnut is essential to ensure quality improvement, easy handling, safe storage, further processing, and value addition of the product. Therefore, the aim of the study was to of uroundnut were used for this study, they were roasted on the machine at temperatures of 100, 140. 160. 180 and 220°\ after roasting, the results were analyzed using the python software which ga\e us a skewness value of-0.6883, meaning that the distribution slightly skews to the left, indicating a minor imbalance towards shorter roasting times and a kurtosis of 0.5215 which that the distribution has lighter tails and indicating a more moderate variability in roasting times. A linear regression equation tr = -0.04T *■ 2'124 which shows the relationship between roasting time and roasting temperature was also gotten using the python software
