Study of the Maturation of D acryodes Edulis Oil Placed in Two Different Storage Conditions

The maturation of oil extracted from the safou oil Dacryodes Edulis preserved at low temperature (6°C) and at 30°C is monitored during a 11 month storage, comparing physical chemistry. Thus, analysis of saponification, the information provided by the peroxide and behavior of acid value and ester indices have yielded an overall behavior of the oil in the safou storage thereof being correlated to the variation of the levels of AG.This study reveals that as the safou fruit, the oil contained in the pulp degraded itself quickly during the maturation, especially in storage conditions at moderate temperature.
