Quality characteristics of Ipomoea carnea ssp. fistulosa L seed oil.
Abstract
Oil was extracted from the seed of  Ipomoea carnea  ssp. fistulosa L.  The oil yield was 19.23±0.07% and the colour of the seed oil was dark green. The results of the physico-chemical analysis revealed the following; acid value, iodine value, saponification value and specific gravity of 4.94±0.06 mgKOH/g,105.54±0.70 gI2/100g, 203.08±0.70 mgKOH/g and 0.96±0.01 respectively indicating the suitability of the seed oil for pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications. Â
