Microwave-assisted extraction and characterization of fatty acid from eel fish (Monopterus albus)
This study emphasized on the use of microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) technique in studying the effects of three MAE parameters (irradiation time, microwave temperature and microwave power) to obtain extract from eel fish using ethanol as the extracting solvent. The free fatty acid (FFA), acid value, fatty acid contents, and functional groups in the extract were also examined. More so, the maximum extraction yield of 16.13% w/w was obtained at a microwave power of 800 W, FFA and acid value of 1.35 and 2.69 mg KOH/g, respectively confirmed good quality of the obtained extract. In addition, the major fatty acid content...
