Thevetia peruviana seed showed characteristic changes in physicochemical properties when heated at 180, 200, and 220°C over a period of 15 h. There is no striking significant difference in the five parameters (iodine value, acid value, peroxide value, saponification value, and polar compounds) studied for the three working temperatures. Thevetia seed oil showed good thermal stability and will be a good frying and cooking oil. JAOCS 72, 745-747 (1995).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
