Abstract

Most of the fatty acids, vitamin E, and several phytochemicals required in the daily human diet to facilitate the necessary physiological processes can be found in edible vegetable oils. Natural wood pressed plant oils are more popular as a result of rising consumer caution and interest in their potential health benefits. There are a wide variety of unusual edible plant oils on the market, but much remains unclear about their quality and composition. The purpose of this investigation was to ascertain physicochemical characteristics like moisture content, viscosity, saponification, peroxide value, iodine value, acid value of the wood pressed oil samples. All the results obtained were in permissible range. When this values were compared with the values of refined edible oil, wood pressed oil found to be healthier. Beside this, the method utilized to extract oil is ecofriendly without using harmful chemicals and hence the nutrition remains unaffected.
