Abstract: BAES, ALYSSA P., CRYSTAL, RACHEL NINA G., VIDA, ISHA ANTONIETTE R., Applied Research III, (General Science Curriculum), Laboratory School, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, March 2002. “EXTRACTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF OIL FROM JACKFRUIT”(artocarpus heterophyllus Lam.) Adviser: Dr. Divinia C. Chavez. This study entitled “Extraction and Characterization of Oil from Jackfruit” is generally conducted to extract and characterize oil from the barks, pulps and seed coats of the jackfruit. It also intends to identify the physical and chemical properties of the oil and to classify them. One kilogram of the barks, seed coats and pulps was gathered from Indang, Cavite. The barks, seed coats and pulps were cleaned and ground to very small pieces. Afterwards, these ground barks, pulps and seed coats were extracted using the soxhlet apparatus for forty-eight to fifty-six hours. The percentage yield of oil contained 1.20% for jackfruit pulp, 1.01% for the seed coat and 1.18% for the jackfruit bark. The physical and chemical analyses are done to determine some of the constituents of the oil. Phytochemical analysis is conducted to know some of the components of each of the oil. The oil from the jackfruit pulp and jackfruit bark is moderately constituted by sterols and triterpenes while sterols and traces of triterpenes constitute the seed coat. The test for aldehyde, ketones and acids are done to further identify the other components of the oil from jackfruit pulp. It is then found out that the oil from jackfruit pulp had presence of ketones and acid and absence of aldehyde. Solubility Tests are also conducted using water, ether and ethanol to determine the solubility property of the samples.
