The seeds of the Sapindus emarginatus (Sapindaceae family) were extracted through the Soxhlet extraction technique using petroleum ether as extraction solvent. The kernels were separated from the seed shells. 5.31% oil was recovered from Sapindus emarginatus seeds. GC-MS technique was used to evaluate the chemical composition of seed oil. According to the GC-MS study, Sapindus emarginatus seed oil contain more than 30 compounds in total peaks area out of which six monounsaturated compounds were found, based on their retention time (RT), percentage of peak area, molecular formula and molecular weight. GC-MS study revealed that the presence of cis-Vaccenic acid (C18:1), cis-13-Octadecenoic acid (C18:1) and trans-13-Octadecenoic acid (C18:1) at RT 22.174 and its peak area 29.121% of compounds are present in rich amount, whereas cis-13-Eicosenoic acid (C20:1),cis-11-Eicosenoic acid (C20:1) and cis-10-Heptadecenoic acid (C17:1) at RT23.568 and peak area 4.711, normally present in relatively small amounts in seed oil, these are prominent components present in the seed oil of Sapindus emarginatus.
