Means ± standard deviation of analysis (n = 3). Different superscript letters in the same row indicate significant difference (p < 0.05), according to Duncan’s multiple range test. RI = refractive index (25 °C), K232 = conjugated dienes, PV = peroxide value (meqO₂/kg PSO), meqO₂/kg = milliequivalents of active oxygen per kg), AV = ρ-anisidine value, TOTOX = total oxidation value.
