N2  - The rubber seed oil (RSO) extracted from dried seeds using petroleum ether contain a high level of unsaturation as revealed form codine number and refractive index. The viscosity and the energies of activation for flow of rubber seed oil are close to that of olive oil and soyabean oil. The fatty acids of oil seperated by acid hydrolysis followed by urea complex formation shows the prescence of about 85;unsaturated fatty acids, of which the major constituent is oleic acid. The seed cake obtained after removal of oil is a rich source of protein which can be used as cattle feed after purification
