STUDIES ON THE CHARACTERIZATION FATTY ACID COMPOSITIONS OF PETULI (Trewia nudiflora Linn.) SEED OIL AND ITS APPLICATION FOR THE PREPARATION OF WATER PROOF COTTON CLOTH (Pages : 47 - 49)

Studies were carried out on the characterization fatty acid compositions of petuli seed oil and its application for the preparation of water proof cotton cloth. It was found that petuli seed grown under the soil and climatic condition of Bangladesh contains 22% pale-yellow coloured oil. The physcio-chemical properties of the oil were studied by the conventional methods and fatty acid compositions by GLC. The results revealed that the oil can be used suitably for the preparation of water proof cotton cloth on account of its higher iodine value (148) and the unsaturated fatty acid component ?-eleostearic acid (38.50%) content. The prepared water proof cotton cloth was found to be water proof after immersed in water. Download
