Model A
Plots of ln(IPR) versus T representing Model Aare presented in Figure 1 . The straight lines drawn through the
data verify the linear correlation between IPR and T for
the five FAME studied in the present work. Results from least squares
regression analysis of the data are summarized in Table 2 .
These results yielded intercept and slope coefficients
(A0 and A1) that were significant
(p -value << 0.05). The A0coefficients for CaME, PME and SME were generally in a narrow range,
from 28.1 to 31. The same trend was observed for the A1coefficients (−0.078 to −0.068) of these three FAME. In contrast, the
A0 and A1 coefficients were
significantly higher in magnitude for MeC18:1 (39 and −0.098) and lower
in magnitude for MeC18:2 (22 and −0.059).
