Abstract:In this study，the seeds of peanut variety Silihong from Liaoning Province were treated by intense pulsed light.Then，the sensory characteristics，physicochemical properties，and resveratrol content of the yielded peanut sprouts were analyzed.The result showed that the treatment with intense pulsed light improved the sensory characteristics of peanut sprouts，significantly raised the nutritional quality of peanut sprouts during germination，decreased the content of macromolecules fats and proteins，and increased the content of small molecules free amino acids.Moreover，the content of ash and crude fiber was reduced，but the difference from the blank group （without pulsed light treatment）was insignificant.In addition，under the intense pulsed light treatment，resveratrol content in peanut sprouts surged on the 1st day of germination，and was 17.1 times higher than that in seeds on the 5th day of germination.In conclusion，intense pulsed light treatment on peanut sprout can improve the resveratrol enrichment in peanut sprouts within a significantly shorter period of time and increase the yield.
