dc.descriptionThe oil from African nutmeg seed (Monodora myristica) also known as ehuru in Igbo or Ariwo in Yoruba was extracted using normal hexane. Physico-chemical analysis, phytochemical analysis and GC-MS was carried out from crude extract. Physico-chemical analysis indicated that Iodine value (4.318 mg), Peroxide value (10.1 meq/ kg), Acid value (0.784 mg KOH /g), Saponification value (246.1 mg KOH g-), Refractive index (1.479), Specific gravity (0.968 g/m L) and % yield (36.04%). GC-MS analysis shed n-Hexadecanoic acid, Arachidonic acid, 9- Octadecanoic acid to be a major component of the seed oil. The results suggest that the oil is non drying oil; free from rancidity therefore it is good for cooking.
