Aims: This study was aimed to investigate the physicochemical properties and fatty acids composition of Mangifera indica L. seed kernel oil; in addition to investigating the effect of solvent type and extraction duration on extracts properties. Study Design: Extraction of Mangifera indica L. seed kernel oil in different trials under the same conditions using two different solvents for different time of extraction, and determining their physicochemical properties and fatty acids constituents. Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the Department of Applied and Industrial chemistry International University of Africa (IUA), Khartoum, Sudan, between July and November 2019. Methodology: The oil from Mangifera indica L. seed kernel was extracted using n-hexane and petroleum ether in a soxhlet apparatus for 4 and 7 h. the physicochemical properties of the extracted oils were determined using standard official methods. Fatty acid profile of n-hexane extract was identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometer (GC/MS) after methylation.   Results: n-Hexane exhibits better extraction efficiency (11.40±0.66% for 7 h) than petroleum ether (10.80±0.44% for 7 h). The density and refractive index of the oil were 0.89±0.01 g/cm3 and 1.46 ± 0.01 at 28ºC respectively. The physicochemical properties of n-Hexane and petroleum ether extracts were acid value (3.35±0.54 and 2.52±0.13 mg KOH/g oil), peroxide value (4.32±0.65 and 5.11±1.03 meq O2/kg), saponification value (201.05±0.95 and 198.66±1.04 mg KOH/g oil), ester value (197.59±0.67 and 192.54±0.20 mg KOH/g oil) respectively. The statistical analysis of obtained data revealed no significant difference, at 95% confidence interval, between the standard deviation and the mean of two data sets of physicochemical properties of Mangifera indica L. seed kernel oils extracted with the two solvents used. GC/MS analysis revealed a total of 18 fatty acids were identified in which the majors are stearic acid (39.79%), oleic acid (36.77%), palmitic acid (10.34%), linoleic acid (6.02%) and eicosanoic acid (3.83%). Conclusion: The results suggest that mango seed kernel contains stable oil which can be potentially extracted by n-hexane; however, the solvent type has no significant effect on the physicochemical properties of the extracted oil and has the potential usefulness to be used in soap industry.

In this work, comparative study of physicochemical properties and fatty acids of dried arils (DA) oil and those roasted (RA), of Blighia sapida from Côte d’Ivoire have been done using usual methods. The results showed that the crude fat obtained were 59.08± 0.02 g/100 g for dried arils (DA) and 60.51 ± 0.12 g/100 g for roasted arils (RA) respectively. Physicochemical properties of these oils were equal approximately, except level of saponification (241.19 mg KOH/g (DA) against 216.8 mg KOH/g (RA)); acid value (7 mg KOH/g (DA) and 6.28 mg KOH/g (RA)) and ester acid 234.19 mg KOH/g (DA) against 210.65 mg KOH/g (RA) where variances analysis showed that there was significant difference (p<0.05). On the other hand, refractive index, pH, moisture value, relative density and Free fatty acid were respectively; 1.465 (DA) and 1.475 (RA); 5.625 (DA) and 5.8 (RA); 1.757 (DA) and 1.9 (RA); 0.093 (DA) and 0.103 (RA), 3.52 mg KOH/g (DA) and 3.03 mg KOH/g (RA). The color of both oils was yellow. Fatty acid profile of these arils oils revealed that values of DA and RA were equal approximately (variances analysis showed that there was no significant difference (p<0.05)). These arils oils contained high levels of unsaturated fatty acids, 64.10 % (DA) and 65.17 % (RA), especially linolenic acid 20.02 mg/100 g (DA) and 22.18 mg/100 g (RA); linoleic acid 15.37 mg/100 g (DA) and 16.83 mg/100 g (RA) and Oleic acid 12.76 mg/100 g (DA) and 13.21 mg/100 g(RA). The saturated fatty Acids, accounted for 35.90% (DA) and 34.83% (RA) were constituted by palmitic acid with 18.02 mg/100 g (DA) and 18.11(RA) which were higher values. The values of stearic acid were 7.1 mg/100 g (DA) and 7.9 mg/100 g (RA) and 1.85 mg/100 g (AD) and 1.9 mg/100 g (RA) mg/100 g for myristic acid respectively. These results showed that the arils oils of Blighia sapida fruit from Côte d’Ivoire have highly nutritive fat content because rich in essentials fatty acids. These oils may be suitable for soap making and edible (margarine). The oils extracts exhibited good physicochemical properties and could be useful as edible oils and for industrial applications.

The extracts obtained from flower and seed parts of Mangifera indica L. were investigated for antioxidant and antisalmonella activities. Disc diffusion assay and broth macrodilution method were used to determine the antisalmonella activity. However, DPPH assay used to determine antioxidant activities of petroleum ether, chloroform, acetone and ethanol extracts of flower and seed kernel of Mangifera indica L. The mineral content of different parts of Mangifera indica L. was determined using ICP-OES method. Seed kernel and flower were found to be the rich source of Fe with the concentration of 660.50 and 221.75 µg per gram of dry weight. The antioxidant activity of the extracts was determined by DPPH free radical scavenging method. The petroleum ether extract of flower and ethanol extract of flower exhibited the most significant antisalmonella activity with the lowest MIC value of 8 mg/ml. The highest antioxidant activity was recorded in petroleum ether seed kernel and chloroform flower extract with the percentage inhibition of 86.64 ± 2.49 and 79.80 ± 1.28, respectively. Among all the tested combinations chloroform flower and ethanol seed kernel extracts showed greater synergistic effect along with tetracycline against Salmonella typhi isolates. Four different compounds with dual property of antioxidant and antisalmonella were isolated from the petroleum ether seed kernel and acetone flower extracts using thin layer chromatography. GC-MS analysis of acetonic flower extract showed the presence of 1, 2-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, isodecyl octyl ester (Synonym: Phthalic acid). Compounds Oleic acid and eicosyl ester were found in petroleum ether seed kernel extract. The present study revealed that identified compounds are responsible for exhibiting antioxidant and antisalmonella activities in flower and seed kernel. These findings may justify the conventional use of Mangifera indica L. in the treatment of typhoid fever.Kamble et al., International Current Pharmaceutical Journal, September 2016, 5(10): 82-93http://www.icpjonline.com/documents/Vol5Issue10/02.pdf

The physicochemical properties and fatty acid composition ofAttalea dubia (Mart.)Burret (indaiá) seed oil were investigated. The oil was extracted in a soxhlet apparatus using petroleum ether and evaluated for iodine, acid, peroxide, ester, and saponification values. The oil was also analyzed using infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The fatty acid profile of the oil was determined by GC-MS. For each analysis indaiá oil was compared toOrbignya phalerata(babassu) oil. The two oils appeared to be very similar in their fatty acid composition, in which lauric acid (the most abundant), myristic acid, caprylic acid, and capric acid were the four main fatty acids detected. The unsaturated fatty acids content was lower for indaiá oil (5.8%) than for babassu oil (9.4%). The results suggest that indaiá palm tree could be cultivated as a new source of vegetable oil with potential for food and cosmetic industries.

Four varieties of Prunus avium (Burlat, Napoleon, Coeur de pigeon, Van) kernel oils were extracted using a soxhlet apparatus with n-hexane as solvent. These oils composition was compared amongst them, with fatty acids, phytosterols and tocopherols identification and physicochemical characterization of said oils. Several differences, such as in oil yield were observed, “Coeur de pigeon” variety being the highest with a 23.5% yield. Twelve fatty acids were identified in all the varieties with linoleic and oleic fatty acids being the most abundant. β-sitosterol, Campesterol and Δ5-Avenasterol were the major compounds in the sterols assay performed. Also, total tocopherols ranged from 352.22 mg/kg (Var. Coeur de pigeon) to 2072.55 mg/kg (Var. Napoleon), with γ-tocopherol being the dominant one. These results suggest that these oils have numerous active compounds that can be further exploited.

Mango (Mangifera indica) is a widely popular tropical fruit. When ripe, it is consumed either as fruit or juice, while raw mangoes are used in pickles, juice and curries. Apart from these, the seed kernels of ripe mangoes are in great demand by cosmetic and confectionary industries, while those from raw mangoes are used for medicinal purposes in traditional households of India. Although, the seed kernels have been used for various beneficial purposes, the inconsumable mango seed largely poses as a waste and biological pollutant. Therefore, it is pertinent to highlight the detailed composition and benefits of butter from various stages of mango kernel to highlight its commercial relevance. By using a combination of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy based metabolic profiling, we studied the biochemical composition of different stages of mango kernel extract. We observed predominance of various types of fatty acids in all types of mango kernel with the ripe version showing the largest amount. The unripe versions though showed presences of a variety of aromats and antioxidants albeit at lower amounts. Our findings highlight that the unripe mango kernel extracts contains various aromats that have antimicrobial effects. India produces up to 23 million tonnes of mangoes every year and it has been estimated that it can produce up to 2.3 million tonnes of mango butter. Along with the fatty acids, these antimicrobials can be extracted as butter for commercial relevance thereby adding value to the seed kernel waste which otherwise pose as bio-pollutant.
