extract oil from fluted pumpkin seed. The specific objective was to investigate the effect of different levels (100%, 80%, 60% and 40%) of three solvents (petroleum ether, n-hexane and methanol
EXTRACTION OF OIL FROM FLUTED PUMPKIN SEED
Fluted pumpkin seeds (Telfairia Occidentalis) contain valuable edible oil. A study of oil extraction from the seed was conducted using a 3 x 4 factorial experiment in a Randomized Complete Block
In this study, the work done on the extraction of oil from fluted pumpkin (Telfairia Occidentalis Hook F.) seeds, its transesterification methyl ester (biodiesel) and characterization is reported. The oil was extracted in a soxhlet extractor using normal hexane as solvent. The oil properties were
Some characteristics of fluted pumpkin oil extracted
ABSTRACT: The effect of heat treatment on the characteristics and oil yield of fluted pumpkin seeds was investigated. The fluted pumpkin seed samples was divided into four portions A, B, C and D. Samples A, B, C were heated at 100 oC, 130 0 C and 150 0 C respectively for 30 minutes, while sample D served as the control for the experiment. The
Abstract: Oil-in-water emulsion was produced from the oil extracted from fluted pumpkin seeds, the extraction were carried out using two different solvent systems such as normal hexane and petroleum ether separately. Production of oil in water emulsion was also carried out with olive oil

The effect of fluted pumpkin (Telferia occidentalis) seed
Lagos, Lagos. A large quantity of the fluted pumpkin seed was decocted with a lancet and the naked seeds dried in the oven in the laboratory at 30°C for 48 hours. The seeds were blended to a fine powder using Maulinex electric blender and preserved for extraction of the oil samples. The oil extract
The oil obtained from the pumpkin seed kernels had a refractive index of 1.4656, specific gravity of 0.913, iodine value of 105.12 (g I2/100g oil), saponification value of 185.20 (mg KOH/g oil
