This paper performed the physicochemical and proximate analysis of the extracts isolated from Citrus sinensis from Dutsinma local government area of Katsina state in Nigeria. Characteristics of the seeds were investigated by Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOACs). The seeds were found to be potential raw materials for livestocks nutrition, cosmetic manufacturing and construction industries. The physicochemical parameters included oil percentage yield, melting point, specific gravity, iodine value, saponification value, peroxide value, free fatty acid value, and acid value. The proximate parameters included moisture, protein, carbohydrate, crude fiber, and ash content. This study concluded that Citrus sinensis seed could be utilized as potential raw material for oil producing industries.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
