Extraction of edible oil from Defatted and undefatted seeds of Papaya (Carica papaya) and check or analyzed the physical – chemical properties of the edible oil. Seeds were collected and dried. Extract the oil from seeds by using Soxhlet Method. Petroleum ether are used as extraction solvent (have a pure alcohol and have a low boiling range (30-60 ?) and to shorten extraction time). This study was to check the physicochemical properties of the Papaya (Carica papaya) seed and oil. The seeds are highly rich in nutrition. Papaya seed are major source of the protein (27.6%).Papaya seeds have crude fiber (22.4%). They have moisture content (7.0%) and the ash content (3.5%) with the including of minerals (K, Na, Mg, P, Ca). Energy value of the papaya seed was (375.90 Kcal). They have carbohydrate and fat content (30.9% and 26.5%). pH of oil is 5.4. Saponification matter and iodine value of oil was following 282.5 and 83.8.
