Assessment, Quality and Sensory Evaluation of Crude Oil of Polygala multiflora Poiret in Burkina Faso

Polygala multiflora Poiret is an oleaginous plant in Burkina Faso, but most of its quality characteristics remain unexplored. This work aimed to evaluate the chemical and sensory quality of Polygala multiflora Poiret crude oil. Chemical parameters were determined using AOAC standards. The sensory analysis of the samples was carried out using three tests (descriptive and hedonic classi- fication). Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to establish the rela- tionship between the panelists’...
