The information of pili (Canarium ovatum) nut oil from Sabah is still scare. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the physicochemical properties of pili nut oil from Sabah. The oil was extracted using solvent extraction method which petroleum ether was the organic solvent. The extracted oil was evaluated for yield, color, slip melting point, iodine value, carotene content, fatty acid and triacylglycerol compositions. The oil was yellow in color with high yield (~70%) and semisolid state at room temperature (25 °C). The extracted oil had 18.5 °C for slip meting point and 96.4 g I2/100 g for iodine value. The oil was rich in oleic, palmitic, stearic ad linoleic acids with the major triacyclglycerols were POO, PPO and OOO. The extracted oil was of good quality with free fatty acid content and peroxide value was about 1.5% and 2.5 mEq/kg oil, respectively. The β- carotene content of pili nut oil was about 66 ppm.

KEYWORDS: Canarium ovatum; Nut oil; Physicochemical properties; Fatty acid; Triacylglycerol.
