Abstract

ABSTRACT The oils were extracted from both coconut (cocos nucifera), sed groundnuts ( Arachishypogaea) using standard method. Coconut and groundnut soils were yield wore 38.9% and 40.0% respectively. And the physicochemical parameters (acid value, lodian value, peroxide value, saponication value, and free fatty acid) were determined. Acid valet, sodine value and free fatty acid for coconut oil were (3.366 -0.027 mg/kah), (2.667 40.061. 2/100g), and (0.149 ± 0.003%) from the sample respectively. While ground nuts Oil it was found that Acid value, lodine value and free fatty acid were (2.806 0.003mgloh/g). (3.81 0.03g 12/100g), and 10.028 0.028%) respectively. The coconut oil had saponification value of (18.235 ±0.05mg/kohig )and peroxide value of (2.65 0.04meų 120 2)while ground nut soil had saponification value of (65.923 + 0.55mg/koh/g) and peroxide value of (3.15 0.046meq 120 2). And it was found that coconut oil has higher physiochemical parameters in acid value and fice fatty acid thas ground nut soil while ground nut oil has higher physiochemical parameters in iodine value, peroxide value and saponification value than coconut oil.
