Effect of Solvents Extraction on the Yield and Physicochemical Properties of Dehulled Hunteria Umbellata Seed Oil
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy and Biological Sciences (IOSR-JPBS) - Year 2016, Vol 11, Issue 3
Abstract
In this study, the characterization and physicochemical properties of dehulled Hunteria umbellate (DHUS) were critically examined to ascertain the functional groups and components of the extracted oils. Oils were extracted from DHUS using; methanol, aqueous and ethyl acetate in soxhlet extractor. The low acid and peroxide values (5.61-23.00mgKOH/g) and (4.00-7.20Meq/kg) respectively confirm the presence of antioxidants, flavonoids and free fatty acid. DHUS oil can be used industrially for the preservation of food, production of cosmetics and medicinally to cure cancer and viruses. The FTIR results revealed the O-H of phenol at absorption band between 3270-3388cm-1 and some other important groups.
