Physicochemical Characteristics of the Seed and Seed Oil of the Potentially Medicinal PlantZiziphus oenoplia

Abstract: The proximate composition of seeds, physicochemical characteristics, and fatty acid profiles of Ziziphus oenoplia seed oil were determined in this study. The seeds possessed low moisture (4.54%) and high carbohydrate (42.96%) and protein content (40%), making the seed oil suitable for storage and consumption. The saponification value (197.80) of the seed oil makes it a promising source for the soap and shampoo industry. The iodine and saponification values are comparable to those of major edible seed oils such… Show more

“…resin, shampoo and liquid soaps [21]. The value recorded in this study is also similar to saponification values of soybean (189)(190)(191)(192)(193)(194)(195) and groundnut (187)(188)(189)(190)(191)(192)(193)(194)(195)(196) as reported by Gunstone [22].…”

“…A high saponification value (192.40±9.98 mgKOH/g) recorded in this study is similar to the saponification value of 197.80 recorded for Z. oenoplia seed oil [21], this high value could be attributed to high content of medium chain fatty acids (i.e., C16 and C18) in the seed oil. Furthermore, this high saponification value is a desirable property for production and manufacturing of shoe polish, alkyd…”
