ABSTRACT
The oil was extracted from tropical almond seed using soxhlet apparatus and n hexane .The oil obtained was characterized. The moisture obtained was 21.60% , saponification value 216mgKOH/g, acid value 16.4mgKOH/g , peroxide value 6mEq 03/kg, Ash content 4.8%, iodine value 86mg/100g, Density value 0.87, pH8.04 and free fatty acid 8.2 . The chemical properties of oil showed that the oil contain high saponification value with low iodine value hence the oil is not recommended for soap making but for cosmetics industries, essential ingredients for body development.
