Hexane-extracted oil contents of rice bran of variety super kernel (Oryza saliva) muskmelon (Cucumis melo), watermelon (cirllus vulgaris) and mango kernel (Mangofera indica) ranged from 10 to 45%. Other physical and chemical parameters of the extracted oils were follow: Iodine value 117, 106, 83 and 50; refractive index (40oC) 1.446, 1.467, 1.468 and 1.461; density (40oC) 0.919, 0.926, 0.902 and 0.974; saponification value 183.0, 174, 205 and 189, unsaponifiable matter 5.64, 4.18, 0.68 and 1.00, respectively. The investigated oils were found to contain a high levels of oleic acid (C18:3 Omega-9) ranged 23-83% followed by Iinoleic acid (C18:3 Omega-6) 1-59%. Linolenic acid (C18:3 Omega-3) was only found in super kernel variety (2.4%). Many parameters of the investigated oils were quite comparable with those different conventional oils.
