ABSTRACT
This research was carried out to examine the
effect ofstoring containers and places ofstorage on quality ofpalm oil in
Ahiazu Mbaise, Imo State, Nigeria. 50mls offreshly processed palm oil was
collected using sterile storage containers and were stored at room temperature
on different i ; were collected at tluee (3) weeks interval; the parameters
analysed were moisture content, free fatty acid, acid value, saponification
value, carotene and cholesterol. The result obtained after analysis of variance
(ANOVA) showed that there were significant difference (P<0.05) in the
physiochemical properties of the three week storage and method of storage
respectively; result oftlie findings also showed that the first week quality
ofthe palm oil samples investigated were close to standard recommended by SON
(2000) and NIS (1992); therefore it was conclude that first week oil samples
investigated were processing and storage indicated the suitability of the oil
samples for domestic or industrial application as well as export trade.
