Abstract
As elemental content if sheabutter play a vital role in various physiological and metabolical activities tn h human body, efforts have been made to analyze th.l semisolid product from the design and fabrication of sheabutier extraction machine for small scale. industry. The result was compared with the i;:omposition of extract from ocher techniques. The resuit shows mcreasing recoveries of most of the elements on p~ogressing to design machine and soxhlet apparatus from traditional procedure. The chemical analysis res1dts sho>~:ed the amounts of lead, mercury, manganese, iron, copper, calc1um, iodine, magnesiUTJ1 and phosphorous present in the sheabutter. The amounts of 22.8}lgll sheabulter from modern machine are higher than the from the traditipnal ·extracting method. Posszble reasons and implicatiOn of the finding•· are discussed.
