were optimal. The extraction process was
performed under a range of conditions according to the experimental
design. After extraction, the solution was centrifuged at
9392g for 15 min to separate the oil-rich and emulsion phases.
The oil was withdrawn using a micropipette and the emulsion
demulsified with foam suppressor HS-508 and further centrifuged
to obtain any residual oil. The oils were combined, weighed and the
extraction yield expressed as percent ratio (%, g/g) MAAEE oil extracted:
total oil obtained using SE. Control samples underwent
the same extraction process except for the addition
