“…Methyl linoleate and linolenate (45.6 and 20.3%, respectively) were the dominant in MOME. Generally, MOME contains high percentage of unsaturated FAME (65.9% polyunsaturated and 16.2% monounsaturated FAME), a result which concurred with that of Juliani et al (2007) while saturated FAMEs was only 17.9% in total (10.5 and 7.2% of methyl palmitate and stearate, respectively). The composition of FAMEs has positive and negative effects on biodiesel fuel properties.…”

“…The oil is rich in phytosterols and natural proteins and is mainly used in the cosmetic industry. Juliani et al (2007) studied mungongo cold pressed oil as new natural product with potential cosmetic applications. In their study, it was reported that manketti seeds yielded 28% of oil (traditional hand press) to 38% of oil (hydraulic press).…”

The fatty acid methyl esters (FAME)produced from vegetable oils, animal fats, or waste oils known as biodiesel has attracted attention as possible replacement of fossil fuels. The fuel properties of biodiesel are similar to that of conventional petro-diesel and it is more environmentally friendly. This study investigated in detail the fuel properties of biodiesel from less common edible oil produced from Manketti seeds (Schinziophyton rautanenii). Manketti Oil Methyl Ester (MOME) was produced by transesterification process using an alcohol in the presence of a catalyst. The fuel related properties of MOME were determined and compared with the global biodiesel standards such as ASTM 6751 and EN 14214. Also, the effects of different antioxidants; 1, 2, 3 tri-hydroxy benzene (Pyrogallol, PY), 3,4,5-tri hydroxy benzoic acid (Propyl Gallate, PG) and 2-tert butyl-4-methoxy phenol (Butylated Hydroxyanisole, BHA) were investigated on oxidation stability, kinematic viscosity and cetane number (CN) of MOME. The results showed that, most of the determined fuel properties fulfilled the minimum requirement of global biodiesel standards. Among antioxidants used in this study, PY and PG were more effective compared to BHA on oxidation stability. Also, addition of antioxidants on MOME showed positive results on CN which was increased and kinematic viscosity was decreased. In summary, biodiesel produced from manketti seeds oil indigenous to Southern Africa can be used as partial substitute of mineral diesel.

The demand for cosmetics from natural sources is increasing. It is attractive to the consumer market due to their functional benefits. The phytocosmetics market of toiletries, perfumes and cosmetics has grown in the world market. This article aims to focus on and examine the state of phytocosmetics in Africa (Fig. 1). A survey from United States showed growth in the use of herbs by adults for cosmetics use and for the treatment of medical conditions, at a rate of 3% -12% -21% in the years 1990 -1997 -2001 respectively.1 It was reported 2 that 38 million people from US used herbal therapies. Development of cosmetics from Africa, from seed oils and their components, are attracting international companies with their marketing potential. The African beauty market is expected to double in the next decade with the rate of sales increasing up to a rate of 5 -10 % of beauty care products. In Africa the per capita spending on cosmetics ranges from 10 -20 times lower than in developed market, but Africans can look forward to a resurgence of phytocosmetic products and an increase of marketers who are interested in their future growth.

“…The seed oil from the species consists mainly of fatty acids including linoleic, oleic, palmitic, linolenic, and erucic acids, with lesser quantities of myristic and myristoleoic acids. In addition, it is rich in vitamin E (565 mg/100 g of the kernel) which provides excellent oxidative stability and a long shelf life (Juliani et al 2007;Chivandi et al 2008). …”
