The result of the free acids (FFA) obtained from this study is comparable with those of Egan et al ., [6], Ekpa and Ekpe [8], Ekwenye [9] and Orji and Mbata, [18]. The high FFA values obtained may be due to the fact that the oil samples obtained were exposed to normal room temperature conditions at the market stores [9]. It may also be due to decomposition of glycerides by the fungi and may have been accelerated by the exposure of the palm oil to heat and sunlight. Egan et al . [6] stated that glycerides in oil can be decomposed by lipase or other actions and that decomposition may be accelerated by light heat.
