Abstract
Palmitic acid contents of oils ranged from 10.80% (M. molaite) to 17.06% (M. peregrina). Stearic acid contents were found to be between 1.96% (M. peregrina) and 2.77% (M. oleifera). While the lowest oleic acid was found in M. peregrina oil (7.14%), the highest oleic acid was found in M. molaite (51.05%). In addition, linoleic acid contents of moringa leave oils varied from 18.09% (M. oleifera) to 22.66% (M. molaite). Also linolenic acid contents of oil samples were found to be between 7.40% (M. molaite) and 32.53% (M. peregrina).Density (24 degrees C; mg/ml) 0.9037- 0.9068, refractive index (nD 40 degrees C) 1.4581-1.4601, iodine value (I-2/100g) 67.8-71.3, acidity (oleic,%) 2.17-3.21, saponification value (mg KOH/g) 171.7-178.1 and peroxide value (meq O-2/Kg) 1.97-2.61 of Moringa sp. leaf oils were determined.
