Abstract
Oil was extracted from ground Nicotiana tabacum seeds by soxhlet. The percentage oil yield was 36.75 0.50%. The quality of the oil was assessed in terms of acid value, iodine value, saponification value, free fatty acid content, specific gravity and drying oil, highly unsaturated, non-acidic and would require little purification. The oil could be used for production of hair shampoo shoe polish and could be commercialized due to its high oil yield.
Key words: Nicotiana tabacum seed oil, extraction and Industrial application.
