The objective of this study have determined the physicochemical properties, phenol, and tocopherol of Cassia Siamea Lam seed oil.Cassia Siamea Lam oil have done using the solvent extraction method. The oil was analyzed for the composition of tocopherol, phenols, and physicochemical properties (specific gravity, refractive index, iodine value, saponification value, unsaponifiable matter, acid value, and peroxide value). The physicochemical properties of the oil were analyzed by AOAC Official method (1999).The phenol was analyzed by spectrophotometer and tocopherol was analyzed by HPLC technique. The specific gravity obtained ofCassia Siamea Lamat 45⁰C was 0.892, the peroxide value 4.09mEq/Kg and the refractive index was found 1.4642, the acid value of Cassia Siamea Lamoil obtained was 9.81mg KOH/g, the iodine value was found to be 108gm/g, saponification value ofCassia Siamea Lam oil was182 mg KOH/g, while the unsaponifiable matter ofCassia Siamea Lam oil was 0.7mg/KOH/g, phenols 538.4mg/100g and tocopherol 114%mg/100g. The studied properties of Cassia Siamea Lam oil were examined andfound that this oil may be useful for the domestic and industrial purposes (paints, cosmetics, soap, lubricants, and varnishes) and as synthetic drugs.
