Abstract
The soxhlet extraction of Moringa seed oil was used to determine the proximate and physicochemical screening. The parameters obtained for the proximate screening were 7.64% moisture content, 4.05% ash content, 29.65% crude fat, 34.92% crude protein and 52.30% carbohydrate while the values obtained for the physico-chemical screening were 62.45% for Iodide, 1.1% for specific gravity, 9.84 for free fatty acid, 162.84% for saponification value, 4.10% for peroxide value, 1.46% for refractive index, 10.50% for viscosity and 5.95% for acid value. The results showed that Moringa oleifera seeds and seed oil could be employed for edible and commercial purposes.
