ABSTRACT
Oil extracted from the seeds of Quercus glauca with soxhlet apparatus, using petroleum ether as a solvent, was analyzed for its physico-chemical constants and composition of fatty acids. The oil was found to be a non-drying comparing favorably well with oils from Querous ilex, and Quercus incana (5, 6, 7). It was concluded that this oil can be used for edible purposes. The seeds, which were analyzed for its nutrients, indicate its utilization a as poultry and livestock feed (8).
