  This study involves the physiochemical, microbiological and selected heavy metals variations of palm oil samples sourced from galadima, tarauni, yan-kura markets of kano state and samples from Kogi and Edo States of Nigeria. The samples were evaluated using standard documented procedures. The result showed; samples from Edo had: oil acid value 0.73 ± 0.13, iodine value 29.25 ± 0.09, peroxides value 2.68 ± 0.09, saponification value 194.31 ± 2.21, moisture content 1.13 ± 0.56, ester value 195.04 ± 2.08. The samples from Kogi had; acid value 0.88 ± 0.11, iodine value 11.54 ± 0.24, peroxides value 5.79 ± 0.62, saponification value 187.49 ± 0.56, moisture content 1.60 ± 0.10, ester value 186.61 ± 0.45. The sabon-gari samples had; oil acid value 0.86 ± 0.17, iodine value 30.37 ± 0.34, peroxide.. Read More»
