Physicochemical properties of garden cress seed and leaf oil extracts.

Oil extract	Oil yield (%)	Specific gravity	ACV (ml/g)	FFA (%)	PV (meqKOH/g)
Seed	25.75 ± 2.48a	0.84 ± 0.08a	1.26 ± 0.20b	0.63 ± 0.10b	2.20 ± 0.28b
Leaf	15.00 ± 0.71b	0.49 ± 0.02b	2.95 ± 0.20a	1.48 ± 0.09a	7.50 ± 0.71a

Note: means followed by the same letter within a column were not significantly different at the 0.05 probability level based on the LSD (least significance difference) test. Small letters: significance within column; ACV: acid value; FFA: free fatty acids; PV: peroxide value.
