Estimation of some nutritional values and mineral elements in some oil extracts from medicinal plants

Abstract

The study included evaluating the following bio-chemical evidence (Moisture, the percentage of the total Solid materials, the percentage of the extracted Oil, Acid Value, Iodine Value, Saponifing Value, Ester Value and Peroxide Value). The extracted oil of poupied had the higher ratio of the acid Value (27) whereas the ginger is recorded the lowest ratio of the acid Value (0.08). The extracted oil of the radish Seed is registered the highest (201.1) Concentration of the Saponifing Value whereas the extracted oil of the frozen fish (71.8) had Contained the lowest degree of the Saponifing Value. For the Ester value ,the free fat of sheep is given the higher(199.8) ratio whereas the extracted oil of frozen fish is indicated the lesser ratio(70.6) .For Iodine value the extracted oil of linseed is reached to highest (170.7) ratio while the butter is granted the lesser(31.7) ratio .As regard to the Peroxide value in the almond(21.4) oil while the lower value was in the free fat sheep (31.7). the study focused on assessing some of the mineral elements (Calcium, Potassium, Zinc, Iron and Magnesium). The sunflower oil had the highest concentration in Ca (2.1), K (9.0), Fe (0.9) and Mg (1.05) where the olive oil is registered the highest concentration in Zinc (0.3)
