Ultrasonic extraction of fish oil from eel

The eel is rich in calcium and iron as well as vitamins B and D, also believed by many people to be the cure for kidney disease, asthma, heart palpitations and impotency as well as hastening healing of surgical wounds. In this research, fish oil was extracted from Eel (Monopterus albus) by using ult...
