61.76% of oil and 4.8% of water. On a manufacturing scale, the yield 

 of the oil from the entire seed is 27.8%. The cold drawn oil of Sazanqua 

 is very much like to Camellia oil in appearance being, however, somewhat 

 lighter in color and is particularly distinguished by its peculiar smell. 

 Under the Eleiden test, the oil solidifies after 4 hours. 



The oil is used for hair-dressing and it furnishes a good material 

 for machine oil. 



The physical and chemical constants of Sazanqua seed oil are as 

 follows : — 



Specific gravity 0.91447 



Acid value 7.68 



Saponification value 193.3

Neutralization value 186.3 



Iodine value 80.68 



X. Kaya Oil 



The oil is obtained by pressing the seed of the Torreya nucifera, 

 S. et Z. The yellowish white kernel, constitutes about 66% of the weight 

 of the seed, contains 48% of oil, and 6.09% of water. The yield of the 

 oil from the seed amounts to 24% on a manufacturing scale. 



The oil is edible and is used as a raw material for paints and 

 varnishes. 



Under the Eleiden test, the oil precipitates a small quantity of 

 reddish brown solid matter on the bottom of the test tube. 



The Physical and chemical constants of Kaya seed oil are as follows : — 



Specific gravity 0.9236 



Solidifying point Below -17°C.
