Abstract
Okra (Abelmochus esculentus L.) seeds were analyzed and characterized in terms of physical properties, chemicalcomposition, mineral content and some oil characteristics. Seeds were found to be a good source of crude oil andprotein being 15.20% and 24.32% on dry weight basis, respectively. The seeds possessed high content of crude fiberand could be considered as a good source of K, Na, Mg and Ca. The extracted oil was slightly high in saponificationvalue and relatively low in iodine value, so it could be classified as a semi – dry oil. In addition, the crude oil showedlow peroxide and acid values indicating its high stability against deterioration. Total lipid fractions of okra seed oilconsist mainly of nine classes in which triacylglycerols being the major class. Palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids werethe major fatty acids and constituted about 90.71% of the total fatty acids.
