The objective of this research is to study the effect of treatments on seed and pressing temperatures on candle nut oil properties. The treatments consisted of steaming, dry-frying and control. The candle nut seed having been treated was pressed at temperatures of 65and 135°c. The data obtained  were analysed by using fac.torial  design and the difference between means were tested with the LSD procedure, calculated with SAS program.Vie results showed that an increase in a pressing temperature caused a decrease in a peroxide number and an increase in an iod number. The  dry frying treatment on seed before pressing activities produced a few deterioration on candle nut oil, denoted by a high value of iod number and a small value of peroxide and saponification numbers.  Compared to a steaming treatment or a control, the dry frying  treatment gave a better quality on candle nut oil indicated by a higher value of  iod number. .
