a

*, grain types involved in VHG fermentation processes; †, DDGS preparations recovered from two methods of VHG fermentation: VHG jet-cooking and Stargen-based fermentation.

b

Means in the same column with different letters are significant (P < 0.05), Bold and Xena barley with hull were not included in statistical analysis due to unavailability of VHG jet-cooking and Stargen-based fermentation data. P values: grain, <0.001; fermentation, <0.001; and grain × fermentation, <0.001. The SEM values were 0.452, 0.161, 0.203 and 0.141 for linoleic acid, oleic acid, palmitic acid, and others, respectively.

c

Other fatty acids included polyunsaturated fatty acids such as alpha-linolenic acid, in addition to arachidic acid, gadoleic acid, behenic acid, and nervonic acid.
