CHARACTERIZATION OF MORINGA OLEIFERA SEED OIL CULTIVATED IN DIFFERENT REGIONS OF PUNJAB, PAKISTAN... [Pg.236]

Table IV. Melting behavior of Moringa oleifera seed oil by DSC at two...

Table III gives the physical and chemical properties of the M. oleifera oil. Some of the properties of the oil depend on the extraction medium. The M oleifera oil is liquid at room temperature and pale-yellow in colour. Electronic nose analysis shows that it has a flavor similar to that of peanut oil. The melting point estimated by differential scanning calorimetry is 19°C (15). The chemical properties of the oil depicted in Table III below are amongst the most important properties that determines the present condition of the oil. Free fatty acid content is a valuable measure of oil quality. The iodine value is the measure of the degree of unsaturation of the oil. The unsaponifiable matter represents other lipid- associated substances like, sterols, fat soluble vitamins, hydrocarbons and pigments. The density, iodine value, viscosity, smoke point and the colour of Moringa oil depends on the method of extraction, while the refractive index does not. Varietal differences are significant in all physical characteristics apart from refractive index and density (2). The heating profile of the M. oleifera seed oil using the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) conventional scan rate shows that there is one major peak B and, two small shoulder peaks A and C...
