In Africa, traditional vegetable oil extraction often involves the use of
plants in the manufacturing process. Quassia undulate oil is thus traditionally prepared. An expedition went to Kédougo (a
region in southeastern Senegal involving women of the Bassaris community) in June
2018 to study the Q. undulate oil traditional extraction mode. Thus, the objective of this study is to
follow the traditional extraction of Q.undulate
