Abstract

A study of isolation and characterizations mahogany seeds oil has been conducted. Mahogany seeds oil was taken by maceration using n-hexane solvent for 3 x 24 hours. The n-hexane extract was evaporated until all the solvents were lost to obtain mahogany seeds oil and then characterizations using GC-MS, IR spectrometers, and UV spectrometers to identified the compounds. The result showed that ester of Linoleic acid (81.56%) was the dominant compound in mahogany seeds oil. © 2019 Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
