✦ Synopsis


Oil was extracted from crushed Cassava (Manihot esculenta) seeds by Soxhlet. The yield of the oil was 23.75+0.56%. The quality of the oil was assessed in terms of iodine value, saponification value, acid value, free-fatty-acid content and specific gravity. These showed that it was a semi-drying oil which was highly unsaturated, non-acidic and would require only little purification. The oil could be useful for making liquid soap and hair shampoo.
