The research work was conducted to investigate the total fatty acid contents in Moringa(Moringa oley’era) seed kemels oil by GLC. The oil was found to contain high level of unsaturated fatty acids. The dominant saturated fatty acids were Palmitic acid (12.51 %) and Laurie acid (1.97 %). The percentages of other fatty acids in Moringa oIe%ra seed kemel oil were Stearic acid (2.09 %), Linoleic acid (1.27 %) and Linolenic acid (l.75 %). Oleic acid (74.99 %) was the most abundant of the unsaturated fatty acids found in Maringa olewra seed kemels oil. 'l`he above chemical composition of the oil recommends its use in pharmaceutical preparation preferably in skin treatment creams.
