| Abstract: | The fatty acid composition of melon seed oil (MSO) using gas chromatography (GC-FID) method was investigated. it was observed that the major fatty acids of melon seed oil are oleic acid (28.01%) and linoleic acid (43.3%). Hence, can be classified as unsaturated oil. Thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) of MSO under nitrogen and oxygen environment was evaluated to deteremine its thermal and oxidative stabilities. The results obtained from Differential Scanning calorimetry experiment show that the antioxidant agent played insignificant role in the pour point property of the oil sample |
