1OL: Lipids were stored as received without antioxidants or heating; SO, lipids heated for 72 h at 95°C with constant compressed air flow rate at 12 L/min; RO, lipids heated for 7 h at 185°C with constant compressed air flow rate at 12 L/min.

2Total of moisture, insolubles, and unsaponifiables content.

3Unsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratio.

4Iodine value was calculated as iodine value = (C16:1) × 0.95 + (C18:1) × 0.86 + (C18:2) × 1.732 + (C18:3) × 2.616 (Method Cd 1–25; AOCS, 1998).

5PV = peroxide value.

6There is no unit for p-anisidine value.

7TBARS = thiobarbituric acid reactive substances.

8HNE = 4-hydroxynonenal.

9AOM = active oxygen method measured as the peroxide value at 20 h of oxidation.

10OSI = oil stability index.
