In accordance with at least one exemplary embodiment, a method and system
of producing peanut hull flour is disclosed. The peanut hull flour can be
fit for human consumption as, for example, a food-grade fiber additive.
In an exemplary embodiment, a peanut hull mass (or supply) can be treated
with an oxidizing solution such as a 3-70% hydrogen peroxide solution for
one or more minutes to twelve hours. The peanut hull mass (or supply) can
also be washed with an alkaline solution. Moreover, the peanut hull mass
(or supply) can be dried to a resulting moisture content of 1-10%.
Further, the peanut hull mass (or supply) can then be reduced to peanut
hull flour, for example, by using a flour grinder system.
