In the present study of five different groundnut varieties such as GG-11,J-11,TMV-2,Rs-1 and K-6 were grown under different geographical places in India. The proximate analysis, oil yield and physicochemical characteristics of collected groundnut seeds and their extracted oils were determined for their nutritional assay. It was found that the seeds contained in the range of extracted oil, protein, moisture, crude fibre, total ash, crude fat, carbohydrate and calories contents were 39.81-44.9%, 26.25-38.13%, 3.54-5.29%, 2.2-4.08%, 2.6-3.0%, 28.8-32.8, 17.01-34.66 and 502.84-528.36 % respectively. The specific gravity, viscosities, impurities and refractive index of the extracted groundnut seed oil were in the range of 0.9147-0.916, 91.47-91.6, 0.04-0.06 and 1.4623-1.4632, respectively. AV (mg KOH/g oil), IV (g I2/100 g oil), SV (mg KOH/ g oil),ester value and unsaponifiable matter content (%) of the extracted oil from groundnut seeds were in the range of 1.1-4.48, 84.75-95.84,188.61-195.68,186.91-192.1 and 0.44-0.7% respectively. This study is empirical and on the basis of finding it is revealed that groundnut seed oil can be a valuable source of edible oil.
