The number before the colon indicates the number of carbons; the number after the colon is the number of double bonds; ω, the position of the double bond counting from the hydrocarbon end of the carbon chain; c, cis isomer; OH, a hydroxy group at the 2(α)- or 3(β)- position from the carboxyl end; i, iso; cyc, a cyclopropane ring structure at the 11-12 position; Br, branched; and T, 0.4 to 0.8%. 

b

Values are percentage of total fatty acids and are arithmetic ranges.
