Characterization of Physico-chemical and Other Bioactive properties of Walnut Seed Oil Extracted By Cold-Pressed Method
In this study, the comparison of physico-chemical and phytochemical profiles for common walnut (Juglans. regia) was analysed. The results showed that common walnut has advantage in unsaturated fatty acids (77.9%) and flavonoids. The seeds also contain some appreciable amount of vitamins; vitamin A and vitamin E. The presence of these bioactive and nutritive compounds in the seed has made it a veritable source for good health conditions.
Due to this reason, the present study aims to extract the cold pressed Walnut oil from selected varieties released to assess the quality of oil with physicochemical parameters and bioactive compounds investigated.
Introduction
Plants have been a great source of nutrients to humans and animals. Humans have relied mostly on plants for nutritional and medicinal needs. Some plant seeds have nutritive and calorific values which make them necessary components of diets. The use of plants by people for treatment of diseases and ailments has been in practice for a long time. Nutritional discoveries showed that frequent eating of nuts greatly lowered the risk of heart diseases.
Walnuts seeds are known for their content of omega-3-fatty acids which are good in maintaining a healthy heart as they have low saturated fats. The seeds have potential health benefits in the area of memory and cognitive function and promote brain health. Low omega-3-fatty acid intake has been linked to depression and decline in cognitive function. Walnut seed contains melatonin, a hormone used in the body to regulate sleep. Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant that fights free radicals which is responsible for the development of cancer cells. Black walnut seeds also contain allergic acids that neutralise cancer causing substances. Therefore consumption of black walnut seeds may help to reduce the growth of cancer cells, heart disease and high blood pressure as it lowers the level of bad cholesterol. Hence this work seeks to evaluate the phytochemical composition, proximate analysis and vitamin content of the plant to encourage its consumption as a functional food.
The Following table below points to physico-chemical properties, fatty acid composition in Walnut seed oil during our investigation.
Method
Oil extraction
Cold press method was used to extract oil from the walnut seed. After the extraction process, the oil was filtered to remove impurities and then kept in a glass bottle under 18°C provides information on the most commonly tested physico-chemical analysis, fatty acids profile, phytochemical and other bioactive analysis.

Description
- Appearance- Walnut Oil is in a liquid form.
- Colour- The pure cold-pressed walnut seed oil is a clear light yellow-greenish liquid in colour.
- Odour- The odour of cold-pressed walnut seed oil is obtained from the seeds. The walnut oil has characteristics in aroma.
- Solubility- Walnut Oil can be soluble in cosmetic esters & fixed oils, and insoluble in water.
- Acid Value-the acid value is the number of milligrams of KOH that is required to neutralise the free fatty acid present in 1.g of fat.
- Refractive Density-is a determined value that provides a relative measure of the optical density of that material. The higher the index of refractive value, the more optical dense a material is.
- Refractive Index-indicates the possible chances of rancidity development in oil. Higher the refractive index higher is the chances of spoilage due to oxidation.
- Saponificvation Value-is the number of milligrams of KOH required to neutralize the fatty acids resulting from the complete hydrolysis of 1g of fat.
- Unsaponifiable matter-are the substances in many oils and fats that are not tri-glycosides. These can be washed away because they are soluble in water.
- Peroxide Value-is a parameter specifying the content of oxygen as peroxide, especially hydroperoxide in a substance.
- Iodine Value- the iodine value is the amount of iodine in 100g of oil or fat.
- Fatty Acids-Walnut contains a few fatty acids such as palmitic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, linoleic acid, etc.
- Heavy Metals-This test is done to see if there are unusual amounts of metals that are toxic or could be harmful.
- Microbial Test-is significant and is expected by various industries from over the world, where human wellbeing is in danger of being adversely affected by illness caused from bacterial infection, and microbial toxins.
Observations of Qualitative Tests for Walnut Oil
1. Phytosterols
No, formation of blue-green colour, shows the presence of phytosterols in the sample.
2. Flavonoid
Formation of red colour shows the presence of flavonoid in a sample.
3. Unsaturated Fatty Acids
After observation there is change in colour before and after which shows the present of unsaturated fatty acids in a sample.
Conclusion
Overall, the walnut oil was enriched with oleic & linoleic acid which affects its physicochemical properties such as iodine value, saponification value, acid value etc. Walnut has a higher amount of unsaturated fatty acid and flavonoid which are beneficial for humans. Hence, walnut oil proved to be the best for food products and development.
