“…The saponification value of 198 mg KOH/g of oil obtained from Citrus sinensis seeds agrees with values for most vegetable oils ranging from 188 -253 mg KOH/g (Oluba et al, 2008;Otasie and Akinhanmi, 2009;Nwokonkwo, 2013) [8] [13] [14]. This indicates that oil from Citrus sinensis seeds has high potential for soap and shampoos producing purpose (Ku and Mun, 2007) [15].…”

This paper performed the physicochemical and proximate analysis of the extracts isolated from Citrus sinensis from Dutsinma local government area of Katsina state in Nigeria. Characteristics of the seeds were investigated by Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOACs). The seeds were found to be potential raw materials for livestocks nutrition, cosmetic manufacturing and construction industries. The physicochemical parameters included oil percentage yield, melting point, specific gravity, iodine value, saponification value, peroxide value, free fatty acid value, and acid value. The proximate parameters included moisture, protein, carbohydrate, crude fiber, and ash content. This study concluded that Citrus sinensis seed could be utilized as potential raw material for oil producing industries.

“…Saponification value of 218.41+0.02 mgKOH/g for the oil was higher than 137mgKOH/g reported for cashew nut oil [7] but lower than 232.81mgKOH/g for palm kernel oil [14]. The high saponification value suggests that the oil may be suitable for soap making.…”

Proximate, mineral and selected physicochemical characteristics of baobab (Adansonia digitata)seed, pulp and seed-oil were determined using standard analytical methods. The proximate composition (%) of the seed and pulp were as follows; moisture (3.8 ± 0.2 and 11.2 ± 0.2), protein (19.5 ± 0.5 and 3.5 ± 0.1), fat (13.4 ± 0.1 and 0.4 ± 0.1), ash (3.1± 0.1 and 4.5 ± 0.5), crude fibre (15.6 ± 0.5 and 6.1 ± 0.1) and carbohydrate (44.6 and 74.3

“…However, fat utilization was always higher in PKM diet compared to no PKM diet. PKM fat contained characteristically higher proportion of C12~C14 chain fatty acids (Atasie and Akinhanmi, 2009). It is also known that those fatty acids are relatively readily absorbable than other fatty acids (Ramirez et al, 2001;Ong and Goh, 2002).…”

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary β-mannanase supplementation and palm kernel meal (PKM) inclusion (5%) on laying performance, egg quality and nutrient utilizability of laying hens with 73 weeks of age. A total of 240 Lohmann brown laying hens with average 77.5% egg production were randomly allocated with 60 hens per treatment, 4 replicates per treatment and 15 hens per replicate. Experimental design was a completely randomized design with 2 × 2 factorial arrangement, with the factors being (1) two levels of PKM (0 vs. 5%) and (2) with or without dietary β-mannanase (480 IU/kg of diet CTCzyme ® ) supplementation. All hens were housed in cages (35 cmW × 35 cmD × 40 cmH) with 2 hens per cage for six weeks feeding trial. Laying performance was recorded daily during feeding trial. Egg quality, nutrients utilizability and blood assays were done at the end of feeding trial. Egg production was improved (P<0.05) by both dietary PKM inclusion and β-mannanase combined supplementation. Either β-mannanase or PKM did not affect feed intakes and feed conversion ratio of all diets. Egg weight of hens fed diet containing 5% of PKM had heavier (P<0.05) eggs compared with hens fed without PKM. Albumen height was improved (P<0.05) by dietary mannanase supplementation. Crude fat utilization of 5% PKM diet was higher than that of no PKM diet regardless of β-mannanase supplementation. Both DM and total carbohydrate utilization were decreased (P<0.05) in hens fed 5% PKM diet. Serum IgG and yolk IgY contents of PKM groups were lower (P<0.05) than those of no PKM groups. This result showed that 5% PKM diet, independent of dietary β-mannanase supplementation, was able to improve egg production. In addition, dietary β-mannanase supplementation could be used for improving the albumen height of eggs.
