PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES AND FATTY ACID COMPOSITION OF AFRICAN STAR APPLE SEED OIL
ABSTRACT
This research explores the physico-chemical properties and fatty acid composition of African star apple (Chrysophyllum albidum) seed oil, an underutilized plant resource with potential applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The study aims to provide comprehensive insights into the nutritional and industrial value of the seed oil, contributing to the understanding of its potential benefits and applications.
The physico-chemical analysis includes the determination of parameters such as acidity, peroxide value, iodine value, saponification value, refractive index, and specific gravity. Additionally, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) is employed to elucidate the fatty acid composition of the oil. The research integrates both qualitative and quantitative approaches to characterize the oil’s chemical profile.
The findings reveal crucial information about the oil’s stability, quality, and potential applications in various industries. The fatty acid composition analysis provides a detailed breakdown of the major constituents, offering insights into the nutritional value and health benefits associated with the consumption of African star apple seed oil.
This research serves as a foundational exploration into the potential of African star apple seed oil as a valuable and sustainable resource. The outcomes contribute to the growing body of knowledge on underutilized plant oils, providing a basis for further research, product development, and potential commercialization of this natural resource.
