Physicochemical and nutritional qualities of Carica Papaya seed products.
Carica papaya Linn is known for its nutritional values. The seeds are often discarded after eating the fruits. This research work was carried out to determine some in vitro qualities of its products. The oil qualities are: - specific gravity (0.918 ± 0.002), refractive index (1.469 ± 0.003), free fatty acid (0.277 ± 0.006 mgKOH/g), thiobarbituric acid (0.451 ± 0.005 μM/g), and...
