Saponification values of 190.04 - 210.00 mgKOH/g
were obtained for the three melon seeds oils. These were
higher than the values (188 - 193 mgKOH/g) obtained by
Abiodun and Adeleke (2010). Also, these were higher
than melon seed value (175.98 mg/g) and within the
range of the value obtained for melon seeds oil (201.15
mg/g) reported by Ebuehi and Avwobobe (2006). C.
vulgaries had the least value for saponification value of
190.00 mgKOH/g.
