Abstract
Plants and plants derived materials represent the basis of many traditional medicine systems as Ayurvedic, Kampo, and many others that have been used successfully for healing ailments over millennia. Okra seed appears to be a good source of oil (20-40%) and rich (60-70%) in unsaturated fatty acid, especially oleic (20.3%) and linoleic acid (44.4%) as well as polyunsaturated fatty acids, which are essential for human nutrition. The results further showed that the seed oil has a good Antioxidant and anti-Microbial activity against some species of bacteria.
