1.3. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The purpose of this study is to
a. Find the percentage composition of oil in the bean seed
b. To determine the effect of particle size on the yield of the oil.
1.4. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Exploitation
of fruits and seeds as a source of oil can help to reduce oil costs by
diversifying the sources for this commodity. Data generated from this
study will benefit industries for production of oils for various
purposes.
In addition the content and composition of fatty acids of plant seed oils can serve as plants taxonomic markers.
1.5. JUSTIFICATION OF THE RESEARCH
Some factors and benefits of bean (“Ozaki, Ijiliji or Azamuâ€) oil make the research worthwhile;
1 The bean is readily available.
2 Oil from this particular bean is medicinal and applicable in pharmaceutical industries.
3 Small scale industries coming up as a result of oil extraction can reduce unemployment.
4 It can attract foreign exchange earnings for Nigeria.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]This project was done to extract and characterize bean oil according to their particle sizes. The experiment was carried out using scent bean (i.e. ‘Ozaki’, ‘Ijilizi’or ‘Azamu’) as sample. The oils were extracted by solvent extraction /leaching extraction using n-hexane. Proximate analysis was carried out to obtain percentage moisture content, ash content, total oil content, protein content and carbohydrate content of the extracted oils. From observation, i ...
