Other claims from this paper (12)
- Observation All tested Moringa oils had low oxidation and excellent oxidation resistance.
- Observation The oil contained 71% oleic acid on average.
- Observation Phytosterols were 4–5 g/kg.
- Observation Tocopherols were 287–327 mg/kg.
- Observation Carotenoids were 4–8 mg/kg.
- Observation Phenolic compounds were 11–17 mg/kg.
- Observation Oil stability and oxidation status were at least as good as published oils from other origins.
- Observation There were no significant differences between crops.
- Intervention effect Extraction with shells increased sterol content.
- Intervention effect Extraction with shells increased wax content.
- Intervention effect Extraction with shells caused a slight color change.
- Observation Oil extraction yield was equivalent between shelled and unshelled seeds at 37% on a kernel basis.
