The oil of Balanites Aeqyptiaca seed were pretreated and extracted mechanically using centrifugal screw rotor at 100rpm.Oil Samples were analyzed for physiochemical and phytochemical properties using edible ground nut seed oil as a control. This is to ascertain edibility of balanites seed oil at these process approach using a control sample .Result analysis showed moisture content range between ( 0.23-1.34)%, Acid value (1.18- 7.82)mg/kOH/g, saponification values (190-193.34)mgkOH/g ,Iodine values (71-80)wijis ,Peroxide value (4.50- 34.80)mgkOH/g ,free fatty acid (1.51-4.50)mgkOH/g ,viscosity (45-50.0)pa/s and refractive index (1.47-1.8) at 36oC. Saponification value, Iodine value and viscosity of the five minutes heated oil were observed to be low compare with roasted balanites oil sample as well as the control. Tannins and saponins were absent in the control and roasted balanites oil samples respectively, however present in heated oil sample. Flavonoid, Alkaloid and phenolase results on the five minutes thermal heated oil sample revealed the absence of these phytochemicals but flavonoids and alkaloids were present in control sample. Thermal heating orients more bounds and tends balanites crude oil towards edibility status. |
