Competitive inhibition of lipase activity in extracts of germinating peanuts occurred in media containing inorganic phosphate in concentrations above 10 mM. Lipase activity in germinating castor, cotton, and pumkin seeds and in quiescent castor seed was not similarly affected. Applications of this finding to peanut processing are suggested.
