Abstract
In this present work, the characterization of Dovyalis caffra seeds (region Rabat-Morocco) was done through the identification and quantification of all components containing in the oil extracted from Dovyalis Caffra seeds including Fatty acid and sterol composition. This characterization was carried out using a technical instruments gas chromatography, In one hand the mean values of fatty acid composition found in the oil extracted from Dovyalis caffra seeds was: Linoleic acid (C18:2) with 54.98 %, Palmitic acid (C16:0) with 21.36% and oleic acid (C18:1) with 12.17%, In the other hand, β-sitosterol is the major sterol in the oil. The mean objective of this work is the valorization of Dovyalis caffra seeds.
