“…The average value obtained (72.64 gI2/100g) is not significantly different from values reported by other authors [13,15]. Saponification index was 181.99 mg KOH /g, within the expected range for vegetable oil seeds or saponifiable animals (180 and 200 mg KOH /g) [13]. The peroxide value was 3.98 meqO2/kg, which indicates high resistance to oxidation of Moringa oleifera Lam oil [16].…”

“…The high acidity index obtained indicates that oil has undergone hydrolysis of triacylglycerol chains, releasing free fatty acids.The determination of iodine index is a useful measure for understanding the degree of oil unsaturation and is directly related to their oxidative stability [14].

This study aimed to evaluate the centesimal composition of Moringa oleifera Lam seeds and identify the physicochemical properties of crude oil extracted from Moringa oleifera Lam seeds. The values found for the centesimal composition showed that the seeds are constituted by 41% of crude oil, 32.40% of proteins, 4.20% of ash, 19.54% of carbohydrate, and 2.86% of moisture. These results indicate that Moringa oleifera Lam seeds are a potential source for health and diet food products. Compared with oils from Moringa oleifera Lam seeds grown in other countries, the physicochemical characteristics found in the oil are in agreement with data from the literature. Therefore, Moringa oleifera Lam oil can be used as a potential source for the manufacture of several industrial products, such as food and cosmetics.

“…It is worth recalling that the acid number helps detecting the presence of free fatty acids (FFA) generated by a hydrolysis reaction or an oxidative reaction. The production and storage conditions of seeds, expiration date, processing time and handling tools favor the increase of this acid number (Pereira et al, 2016a). The acid number generally defines the quality of the oil and characterizes its purity and stability at room temperature.…”

Background: Since time immemorial, humans have always been interested in lipids for various uses, namely food, cosmetology, medicine, etc. Many seeds, sources of oils, are increasingly studied for their nutritional and therapeutic properties. Methods: The present study aims to valorize the vegetable oil obtained from the seeds of the Moringa oleifera plant widely cultivated in the southwest of Algeria, using the solid-liquid extraction technique. In addition, the fatty acid analysis of this oil, using the gas chromatography technique. Result: An oil yield of 30.43% was obtained, revealed that it contains ten different compounds. The characterization of the oil obtained (physico-chemical properties such as organoleptic properties, density, viscosity, refractive index) proved to comply with international standards and AFNOR standards. In addition, it turned out that Moringa oleifera oil has a very interesting antioxidant power. However, this oil did not show any antibacterial activity on the strains tested.
