Physicochemical properties of Baccaurea remiflora (Letuk) seed oil

Abstract

Baccaurea remiflora seeds oil was solvent extracted and analyzed for its physicochemical properties i.e. acid value, iodine value, moisture content, density and refractive index. The acid value, moisture content and iodine value were 1.127 mg KOH/g oil, 0.103% and 80.32 gI2/100 g respectively. The density and refractive index of the oil were found to be 0.8674 g/cm3 and 1.4672 respectively. Gas chromatographic analysis of Baccaurea remiflora seeds oil showed that saturated fatty acids such as palmitic acid (33.67%), stearic acid (19.38%) and arachidic acid (9.69%) account for more than 60% of total fatty acids judging by its low iodine value. Oleic (24.48%) and 11-transeicosenoic (12.75%) acids are the unsaturated fatty acids found in Baccaurea remiflora
