Extraction and Physicochemical Characterization of Oil from Maringa Stenopetala Seeds
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Applied Chemistry (IOSR-JAC) - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 6
Abstract
The moringa stenopetala seed used for extraction of oil were collected from Arbaminch town in southern and south western of Ethiopia. The seed were prepared for use by removing the pods, drying with oven and milled to flour. A soxhlet extraction was used for extraction of the oil with petroleum; the oil was recovered by simple distillation using Rota evaporater. The residual oil obtained was characterized by investigating physico-chemical parameters and result shows that the extracted oils were liquid at room temperature, pale yellow colour and odorless.the results were average Seed Weight (g) (0.42), moisture content (5.7%), average density (0.907), fibre (7.50), protein (30.90), viscosity (10%), PH (7.53), acid value (1.68), saponification value (178), iodine value (70.2), peroxide value (9.45), yield of oil (47.8 %). This result of analysis confirms the standard specification and reveals that the extracted oil has good quality and food additives as well as industrial purposes and commercial applications.
