Abstract
Changes in biochemical constituents during storage of arecanuts were studied. Protein, fat, phenols, sugars and arecoline contents decreased significantly during storage. When whole dried nuts with husk were stored for one year, the contents of protein, fat, total phenols, reducing sugars and total sugars decreased to a lesser extent while a slight increase in ortho dihydroxy phenols and alkaloids was noticed as compared to dehusked nuts similarly stored.
