Hibiscus mutabilis seed has been reported to be rich in oil and other proximate contents that can be a good feedstock for
biodiesel production and other technologies. Consequently, seeds were analysed for their proximate composition while the extracted oil was used for biodiesel synthesis. The proximate contents included moisture contents (11.46± 0.08%), ash content of (6.52 ± 0.2%), crude fat (8.41 ± 0.53%), protein (16.86 ±0.28%), (fiber (30.16 ± 0.26%) and carbohydrate (26.59 ± 0.39%). The evaluated results suggest that the plant seed may be useful for the production of paints, cosmetics and vegetable oils The results also suggested that Hibiscus mutabilis seed possesses some properties that were suitable for biodiesel production.
