STUDIES ON THE PHYSICO-CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS, FATTY ACID COMPOSITION OF MESTA (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) SEED OIL AND ITS APPLICATION FOR THE PREPARATION OF DISINFECTANT LIQUID (Pages : 27 - 29)
A. AKHTER, M.A. HYE, M.A. KHALEQUE, M.A. ISLAM AND M.M. RAHMANMesta seed contains about 22.3% light yellow colored oil. The physico-chemical characteristics of the oil were determined by the conventional methods and the fatty acid compositions by GLC. The oil contains comparatively high percentage of unsaturated fatty acid, oleic (44.9%) and linoleic (26.7%) acid and higher saponificaiton value (192) which makes the oil very suitable for the preparation of disinfectant liquid. This disinfectant liquid was applied on bacteria and found effective results.Download
