ABSTRACT The seeds of pawpaw and orange are generally discarded. However, in order to make a more efficient use of pawpaw and orange, it is worth investigating the use of the seeds as a source of oil. In this work oil was extracted from the seeds of both pawpaw and orange. The specific gravity, iodine value, acid value, peroxide value,... Continue Reading

ABSTRACT A vegetable oil is a triglyceride extracted from a plant. Such oils have been part of human culture for millennia. The term \'vegetable oil\' can be narrowly defined as referring only to substances that are liquid at room temperature, or broadly defined without regard to a substance\'s state of matter at a given temperature. For this... Continue Reading
