Potential of Nahar (Mesua ferrea) seed oil for industrial applications

The increasing demand for oils both for human consumption and for industrial applications has culminated into an increasing need to search for oils from non-conventional sources to augment the available ones and also to meet specific applications. Mesua ferrea L. (Guttiferae), penaga lilin (Malay)...
