Extraction and evaluation of oil from water melon (citrullus lanatus) seed

Oil Extraction from Millet Seed – Chemical Evaluation of Extracted Oil

ABSTRACT: The object of this study is to extract the oil from millets and evaluate the chemical properties of the extracted oil. Commercial millet oil was obtained by cold solvent extraction adopting soxhlet procedure. Quantitative and qualitative tests concerned with the non-saponifiable matter, fatty acid composition, phosphorus content representing total phospholipids, refractive index, pero...

antibacterial activities of nonionic and anionic surfactants from citrullus lanatus seed oil

conclusions the biosurfactants inhibited the growth of organisms such as pseudomonas aeruginosa, staphylococcus aureus, klebsiella pneumonia and escherichia coli with diethanolamide biosurfactant exhibiting better antibacterial activity than sulphated diethanolamide. results the iodine and saponification values of citrullus lanatus oil were 118.50 ± 0.80 g iodine/100g and 199.10 ± 2.40 mgkoh/g ...

Effects of season, time of fruit harvesting and after-ripening durations on the quality of ‘egusi’ melon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum and Nakai] seed

A study of the after-ripening of ‘egusi’ melon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsun and Nakai] fruits was undertaken at the Teaching and Research farm of the University of Agriculture Makurdi in the wet and dry season productions of 2005 and 2007. The aim was to monitor its effects on seed quality. Fruits were harvested at two leaf colour stages [i.e. when leaves started turning yellow (LTY), and...
