The seeds contain Neem oil, which is rich in bioactive compounds such as azadirachta nimbin and nimbolide, known for their antimicrobial, antifungal and insecticidal properties. Neem oil is particularly valuable in the soap-making industry for its ability to produce a natural, moisturizing soap with therapeutic properties. The extraction and characterization of oil from Neem seeds for soap production was studied. The result obtained showed that in 500g of powdered Neem seeds 72ml of oil was extracted. The physiochemical properties of the Neem seeds oil are: the color of oil (Yellow), percentage yield (14.4%), Refractive index (0.98) specific gravity density (1.83g/cm3), weight of soap produced (31g) and the yield of soap (34.44%). Also, the chemical parameters of the oil analyzed are PH (6.80), fatty acid value, acid value, iodine value, peroxide value and saponification value, 0.48mgkoh/g, 38mgKOH/g, 198.95, 12.0mgKOH/g and 938.55mgKOH/g respectively. The result of this revealed that the Neem seed oil is of good quality for consumption and production of pharmaceutical products, cosmetics and other industrial products. It is therefore recommended that more research should be encouraged on the antioxidant activities, paint making, body creams and pesticides production on Neem seed oil....Preview Download Preview +Other Science Technology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Design and construction of cell phone charger»Bacteriological qualities of food thickener deuterium microcarpum (ofor) and brachystegia eurcycoma (achi) sold in Owerri main market»Physiochemical assessment of soil samples from Nwambe Reserve Forest, Ndubia Igagu Izzi L.G.A, Ebonyi State.»Obstacle detection robot with ultrasonic sensor»Sugar contents in three different soft drinks (Lacasera, Sprite, Schweppes)»Antitrypanosomal activity of ethanol extract of Tridax Procumbent leaf and whole flower on T.
