The contents in fat matter and in unsaponifiables are the order of 46 and 1.66%, respectively. The acid value (2.805 mg KOH/g), iodine value (171.84 g iodine/100 g of oil), peroxide value (10 meq/kg of oil), saponification value (171.105 mg KOH/g), ester value (168.30 mg KOH/g), refraction value (1.4615) and the lower calorific value (40372.34 kJ/kg) have been determined according to the international standards. They revealed the studied oil quality. After the oil esterification, GC/MS analysis showed the predominance of unsaturated fatty acids (95.58%) consisting predominantly of linoleic acid C18:2 (93.20%). Thus, Myrianthus arboreus nutritional, cosmetic and therapeutic potential advantages have been highlighted %K Severin Y Katou %K Janat A Mamyrbekova-Bekro %K Souleymane Bamba %K Marcel K Konan %K Doffou S Akaffou and Yves-Alain Bekro %K Physicochemical characteristics %K Myrianthus arboreus %K Liquid fat matter %K Fatty acid %K C£¿£¿£¿¡äte d£¿¡é£¿£¿£¿£¿Ivoire %U https://www.imedpub.com/abstract/physicochemical-analysis-and-characterization-of-the-lipid-fraction-fromrncte-divoire-myrianthus-arboreus-cecropiaceae-seeds-18388.html
