Abstract
The agricultural production process generates a significant amount of waste in the form of by-products and unused resources. Chemical engineers have a significant position on the globe, resulting in the production of a wide range of products for pharmaceutical, chemical, food and other industrial as well as domestic utilization. Ineffective management of agricultural waste can cause serious harm to the environment and cause a waste of resources. As chemical production improves and the chemical industry’s structure is adjusted, there is a decrease in waste deposed into the environment and a decrease in the traditional use of agricultural by-products. For the fact that the research has revealed the new trend of technology for converting waste into wealth. This creates pressure to develop and utilize agricultural waste more effectively. In this case, the production of oil from mango seeds was investigated to ascertain the physicochemical properties of the extracted oil using mechano-thermal process. The characteristics of the physicochemical parameters examines were refractive index of Enugu Species: with value of 1.3728; Opioro Species with value of 1.34827 and Benue Species with value of 1.34431, density Enugu with value of 1.1072, Opioro with value of 1.34827 and Benue with value of 1.34431 g/cc. Viscosity Enugu with value of 0.1995 cst, Opioro with value of 2.282 cst and Benue with value of 2.149 cst. Iodine value of Enugu with value of 13.70, Opioro with value of 13.201 and Benue with value of 16.62. Saponification value of Enugu with value of 18.513, Opioro with value of 17.111 and Benue with value of 8.35 %. Free fatty acid of Enugu with value of 32.26, Opioro with value of 25.86 % and Benue with value of 18.69 %. Peroxide value of Enugu with value of 80.01, Opioro with value of 85.0, and Benue with value of 40.0 % and acid value of Enugu with value of 1.46%, Oporo with value of 1.35% and Benue with value of 0.982%.
