unsaponifiable, acidity <strong>and</strong> FA composition were performed with 3 replicates except for FAs<br />

analysis <strong>of</strong> Millettia dura (8 replicates) <strong>and</strong> Myrianthus arboreus (4 replicates). This was done to<br />

acquire the analytical variance for FA composition <strong>of</strong> these two species <strong>oil</strong>s.<br />

3.4. Data analysis<br />

Mean values <strong>and</strong> their st<strong>and</strong>ard deviations (mean ± SD) were calculated using GenStat computer<br />

package programme, GenStat release 7.1 <strong>of</strong> 2003. Analysis <strong>of</strong> variance (ANOVA) was performed<br />

for <strong>oil</strong> <strong>content</strong>, specific gravity, melting point, saponification value, percentage <strong>of</strong> unsaponifiable,<br />

acidity <strong>and</strong> FA composition <strong>of</strong> all species analyzed. The least significant differences <strong>of</strong> means (LSD)<br />

test at 5% probability level were also carried out.<br />
