ABSTRACT
Shea butter tree (vitellaria paradoxa) is an astonishing plant with a variety of applications and enormous economic potential. Oil from the seed can be used for cooking, making soap, margarine, chocolate, cosmetic and nutritional purpose. In this study, the quality of Shea butter oil was optimized. The physicochemical analysis of oil was also investigated; the analysis revealed that tested parameters which include Moisture content 0.63%, free fatty acids 0.42%, Sludge 2.03%, Acid value 0.84, peroxide value 2.83, Saponification value 169.55, and Iodine value 51.01 and Specific gravity 0.90, Smoke point 224oc obtained were within the range of African Shea butter oil standard which conforms to world health organization and also NAFDAC. In fact, the saponification value obtained indicated that the oil could certainly be used for soap and margarine production.
