| Abstract: | To determine the
suitability for use in paints, soaps and detergents etc., the fatty oil from Strychnos
potatorum seed is separated. Seed oil obtained by extraction through
petroleum ether has a sufficiently high (20.8%) unsaponifiable matter. Total
fatty acids are found to be 60.4% with almost equal quantities of saturated and
unsaturated fatty acids. Spectroscopic studies indicate linoleic acid (31.94%)
and linolenic acid (8.18%) among the total of fatty acids. Physico-chemical
characteristics of the oil and presence of specific natural organic substances
are also investigated. |
