The industrial oils examined were Mamador Oil and Kings Oil, while the locally produced oils included egusi oil (Citrullus lanatus/Citrullus lanatus subsp. mucosospermus) and sesame oil (Sesamum indicum). Laboratory analyses were conducted to determine the levels of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K), selected minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc), and physicochemical purity parameters such as iodine value, acid value, and saponification value. The results revealed variations in vitamin and mineral composition among the oil samples, influenced by processing methods and degree of refinement. Industrial oils generally showed better purity and stability, characterized by lower acid values and more consistent quality, while locally produced oils exhibited higher variability in nutrient content, likely due to traditional extraction techniques. Although edible oils were not major sources of minerals, trace amounts of essential minerals were detected in all samples. The study concludes that both industrial and locally sourced oils are generally suitable for consumption within acceptable quality limits; however, improved processing, fortification, and proper storage are necessary to enhance nutritional quality and ensure consumer safety....Preview Download Preview +Other Science Technology project topics and materials you might be interested in»Sugar contents in three different soft drinks (Lacasera, Sprite, Schweppes)»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.»Physico-chemical assessment of soil sample from Igbagu reserve forest in Ebonyi State»Qualitative production of biodiesel using neem seed oil»Obstacle detection robot with ultrasonic sensor»Fungi associated with the deterioration of in-can and painted walls of Akanu Ibiam Federal Polytechnic, Uwana»Pharmacological activities of plant secondary metabolites»Antitrypanosomal activity of ethanol extract of Tridax Procumbent leaf and whole flower on T.
