Abstract

Date palm seedsare discarded as waste. Further, our Studies were conducted onfour cultivars date seeds ascultivated inLibya,which namely Omvitity, Taboni, Ami, and Raht. The oil  yield  was  satisfactory  at2  h  extraction time  and 0.5mm  size of date seed powder  by  using  soxhelt  extractor  and toluene as a solvent.The largest percentage of oil yield wasobtained from date seeds(8.9%) for Amicultivar .The acidvalue was ranged (2.02-2.4mg KOH/g)which showed Omvitity seeds had the highacid value(2.4 mg KOH/g)and highpercentage of free fatty acids   (1.2 %FFA). While,  the high  saponification  value was(  527.434 mg  KOH/g)  of  oil inTabonicultivar  which  that the highest of ester value (525.234 mg KOH/ g).
