In northern Namibia, Sclerocarya birrea (A.Rich.) Hochst (Marula) oil is produced traditionally from the kernel of the Marula fruit by local women of the Awambo tribe for sale in local markets and for household
use. The yellow oil, also called locally, ondjove oil, is used for food and cosmetics applications. Various local enterprises, such as the Eudafano Women’s Cooperative based in the town of Ondangwa, are producing
cold-pressed virgin Marula oil from the kernels purchased from local women, which is also sold locally and some being exported for the international cosmetics market. The aim of the study was to analyze the
physico-chemical properties of Marula oil from Namibia prepared by two different extraction methods as it is a valuable commercial product with potential developments in the food and cosmetics industry.
Physico-chemical characterization was carried out for the traditional prepared (MaTrd) and cold-pressed Marula (MaCld) oil. Compositional analysis of the oils was carried out with GC-MS, 13C-NMR and 1H-
