All of the vegetable oil conformed physicochemical to the standards established by the Nigerian Industrial Standard (NIS), African Regional Organization of Standardization (ARSO). The highest FA (fatty acid) is from palm acid in all of the three oils and range from a maximum of 3.0%, while the principal saponification value ranges from187-196 maximum at low levels. In all, the physicochemical analyses of the groundnut, palm kernel and Shea butter oils extracted locally and later refined, showed some significant differences. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Chemical Engineering project topics and materials you might be interested in»Modification of surface, physical and chemical properties of activated carbons for water purification»The kinetic study on hydrolysis of cellulose (saw-dust)»Analysis of bush pear and its oil»Effect of particle size on oil yield using scent bean seed (ozaki)»Refining of palm kernel oil»Assessment of carbon monoxide (CO) level in Enugu metropolis monitoring industrial and residential area»Production of briquette from waste materials using locally fabricated equipment»Design, fabrication and test run of a single column vegetable oil refiner»Analysis of vegetables oil before and after refining
