The physicochemical properties of MAAEE-extracted oil
(MAAEEO) and SE-extracted oil (SEO) are illustrated in Table 1.
No significant differences (p > 0.05) were observed for the refractive
index, specific gravity, acid or saponification values from
either method. The values were similar to those reported by Rezig
et al. (2012). Additionally, MAAEE yielded an oil higher (p < 0.05) in
iodine value (116.26 ± 0.47 g I2/100 g oil) compared with SE
(113.81 ± 0.32 g I2/100 g oil), which suggests a higher content of
