Oil content in the seeds is between 35-40% and the unsaturated fatty acid content in oil is 78-86% predominantly linoleic acid (45-73%). Rate of extraction of oil from date seed depends on type of solvent, partial size of watermelon seed, time of extraction and temperature. Soxhlet extraction is the most common technique for oil seed extraction. Watermelon seed oil is obtained from date seed through Soxhlet extraction technique. % Yield and recovery of Oil using solvent extraction with different feed to solvent ratio. For solvent petroleum ether shows 1:2, 1:4 and 1:6 seed powder to petroleum ether ratio the % yield 18%, 28% and 32% resp. For solvent petroleum ether shows 1:2, 1:4 and 1:6 seed powder to petroleum ether ratio the % recovery 45%, 70% and 80% respl. The optimum value for feed to solvent is 1:4 on which maximum yield for watermelon seed oil extraction. As the feed to solvent ration increase more than 1:4 there is appreciable change in the yield but the cost of solvent increase. The 1:4 feed to solvent ration is to be optimum value for watermelon seed oil extraction. The time of extraction increased yield of oil also increase and up to maximum level. Extraction of date seed oil carried out 1.5-2.5 hrs. Optimum time for extraction is 2 hrs. Crushed seed in powdered form gives large surface area for solid-liquid contact. Temperature for extraction with petroleum ether, methanol and hexane up to 35-40
