Abstract
Encapsulation of groundnut seed with nitrocellulose (NC) or ethyl cellulose (EC) has some profound effects on the mobilization of reserve material during seed germination. Seed encapsulation, in general, increases lipase, α-amylase and invertase activity and decreases the protease activity as observed by low protein degradation during early stages of germination (0–9 days after sowing). Encapsulation with EC enhances the activity of isocitrate lyase and that with NC increased the rate of starch and lipid degradation and the transport of hydrolysate to the growing axis.
