The amount of moisture in the oil was 2.14%, which
is greater than the accepted range of 0.48–0.58% for edible products
(Adedokun and Onuegbu, 2011); this indicates that the oil cannot
be stored for long periods of time, since the moisture contained
in the oil may provoke hydrolysis of the lipids, thereby increasing
the content of fatty acids (Bhattacharya et al., 2008).
