ABSTRACT
This research work investigated the effects of
varying fermentation period on the nutritional composition of 'Ogiri isi' from
Ricinus communis seeds. The physical and chemical characteristic of castor oil
was also monitored during fermentation. Results obtained showed that there was
an increase in the protein, fat, moisture, ash and fibre and a decrease in
carbohydrate content of the fermented seed with an increase in the fermentation
period. Also, results obtained from the extracted oil of daily fermenting '
Ogiri isi' showed that there was decrease in saponification number, fire point,
flash point and smoke point and an increase in free for7 acid (FFA), acid
value, iodine value and peroxide value of the oil as the fermentation period
increased.
