| Abstract: | Soursop (Annona muricata Linn.) seeds were analysed for proximate composition and were found to contain 22.10% pale-yellow oil and 21.43% protein. Physical and chemical characteristics of the seed-kernel oil were determined. Results show that the oil is bland in taste and possesses an acid value of 0.93, a saponification value of 227.48, an iodine value of 111.07 and an acetyl value of 66.77. The oil consists of 28.07% saturated and 71.93% unsaturated fatty acids. |
