The fatty acid composition of 10 different seeds from Nigeria was determined. The data showed that most seeds (except for Brachystegia eurycoma and Dacryodes edulis) could be placed into one major group; they all contained more unsaturated fatty acids ranging from 55.58 to 79.93% for Tamarindus indica and Monodora myristica, respectively. Two unsaturated fatty acids, namely oleic (21.97-60.68%)...

Activated carbon prepared from Tamarindus Indica fruit shells has been used for the removal of two basic dyes, namely, rhodamine B and malachite green from aqueous solutions. Freundlich, Langmuir and Redlich-Peterson isotherm equations were used to fit the equilibrium adsorption data and the isotherm parameters were evaluated. The Langmuir monolayer adsorption capacity was found to be 3.1 mg/g ...

A research work was carried out on the physicochemical properties and fatty acid composition of Tamarindus indica seeds oil using standard Analytical methods PYE Unican 304 Gas Chromatography. The results for seed were: value (5.10), peroxide (9.60), free (2.05), iodine (82.50), saponification (279.20), refractive index (1.467) specific gravity (0.8423).The indicated that oils might be useful d...
