| description | Oil from Telfaria occidentalis and Anarcardium occidentale has been extracted and characterized. The lipid content of the Telfaria occidentalis and Anarcardium occidentalis were 58.41% and 42.15% respectively. The physicochemical parameters of Telfaria occidentalis and Anarcardium occidentale seeds were; boiling point; (58.90, 62.60 °C), melting point; (18.50, 21.80 °C), refractive index; (1.462, 1.498), specific gravity; (0.87, 0.69) saponification value; (91.16, 92.57) iodine value; (51.52, 47.20), acid value; (0.76, 3.74) ester value; (90.40, 88.87), % free fatty acid; (.38, 1.88) and peroxide value; (11.75, 15.23) respectively. Oils from these seeds were found to exhibit the needed potentials for utilization in paint and food industries and as biofuel. |
