Physicochemical Properties of Groundnut Oil Produced from Maibargo Groundnut Seed

An improved groundnut oil kneader was fabricated and used to extract from Maibargo seeds. A sample of extracted the same variety collected local processors using conventional in a rural community Kano state. The physicochemical properties two samples were investigated. Iodine value significantly higher at (p < 0.05) an (103.01 ± 0.006 g/100g) when compared that one processor (98.31 0.061). moisture content (%) (0.12 0.006) (0.02 0.00). Acid (12.12 0.013) than with (2.24 There no significant difference specific gravity samples, but differ coliform count (8 x 102) (1.5 104). highest peroxide values observed by (21.71 0.013 meq O2/kg) while lowest (6.73 0.011 O2/kg). aerobic plate lower (1.4 105) (1.8 106). Relevant institutions should engage necessary awareness sensitize on importance quality production.
