Elaeis Guineensis(Palm Kernel) oil, an ubiquitous ingredient in global cuisines, has long been recognized for its culinary and industrial applications. However, its nutritional profile remains understudied. This study investigates the chemical composition of Elaeis Guineensis oil, with a specific focus on its flavonoid and alkaloid content. Our rigorous qualitative and quantitative analysis revealed a rich flavonoid profile, with concentrations ranging from 15.20 to 17.10 mg/100g. Conversely, alkaloids were found to be absent in the oil. These findings have significant implications for the potential health benefits of Elaeis Guineensis oil, suggesting its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and overall health-promoting properties. Our research contributes meaningfully to the existing body of knowledge on Elaeis Guineensis oil, underscoring its value as a nutritious and versatile ingredient in a healthy diet. The outcomes of this study have far-reaching implications for the food industry, nutritionists, and consumers seeking to make informed choices about their dietary intake.
