Extraction of lipids from whole peanut kernels can be accomplished much faster in an automatic solvent extractor with a lower solvent: seed ratio than by immersion or in a Soxhlet extractor. A possible explanation of the function of moisture in the extraction of lipids from the whole peanut kernels has been put forward. This mode of extraction is expected to produce economically fat‐lean kernels, while oil is obtained as a co‐product.
