QUESTION 4: ECONOMIC SECTOR
Read the following case study and answer the questions that follow: (10)
How Peanut Butter is made
Peanuts (also known as groundnuts) are not nuts at all but legumes, which have the peculiar
habit of ripening underneath the earth. Peanuts are native to South America but are grown
today in many countries with warm climates, such as India, China, West Africa, the USA and
Australia.
The grinding of peanuts into an edible paste goes back 1,000 years to South America. The
making of a more refined peanut butter began in the USA just over 100 years ago.
Sanitarium started making and selling peanut butter in Australasia in 1898. Today Sanitarium’s
Peanut Butter factory is located at Berkeley Vale, New South Wales.

Cleaning and Preparation - As peanuts grow in the ground, they have to be cleaned of
stones, soil and any other contaminants. In a process called aspiration we blow through them
to remove light unwanted material. We also shake them on a gravity table which removes
lighter contaminants at one end and heavier contaminants at the other.
Roasting and Blanching - We do this either by brushing the peanuts with stout bristles or
rolling them against rubber rollers.
Grinding - Peanuts are ground into a paste in a mill.
Setting and Packing - During milling we heat the peanut butter to 80º C and add molten
stabiliser. This stops the peanut butter from separating in the jar. .
The peanut butter is then cooled to between 35º C and 50º C, poured into jars and allowed to
set.
The whole process, from roasting to sealing in the jar, only takes approximately three hours!
From the Factory to the Store
After setting, cartons of jars of peanut butter are stored in a company warehouse either next to
the factory or transported to company warehouses interstate. From each of these warehouses
we distribute the product to wholesale warehouses and then to retail stores.
