Abstract
Physichochemical analysis of palm oil purchased from major markets in agbarho, ewhreni, Opete, Ughelli and Unenurhie in Delta state, Nigeria was carried out to determine the level of adulteration and compared with Standard Organization of Nigeria SON for palm oil. Saponification value and peroxide, the pearson's method was adopted, moisture content was determined using the gravimetric method of air oven drying to constant weight at 105oC, free fatty acid method of analysis of the association of analytical chemist was used. Iodine value by Wijs' method. Specific gravity was determined using a pycrometer gravimetric method. Viscosity was analyzed by means of Fungilab smart series Rotational Viscometer Version 1.2 at a temperature of 400C by means of a Thermostat. Melting point and Protein content, method of American oil analytical chemist AOCSCc 3 25 method. The analysis of the results obtained showed that the palm oil samples from Unenurhie had the lowest moisture content value of 0.41 .None of the sample fell within SON recommended value of 195 205mg g, these indicating its suitability for soap making. Though, the level of conformity of Unenurhie sample to SON standard was the closest, other samples were still close. Thus, there is likelihood that most of oil sold in the above named markets is not adulterated. Ogwuche C. E | Obruche. E.
