abcd Means within rows with unique superscript, differ significantly (P > 0.05). SEM; standard error of means, within row.

1SFA; saturated fatty acids, with no double bonds.

2MUFA; monounsaturated fatty acids, with one double bond.

3PUFA; polyunsaturated fatty acids, with two or more double bonds.

4Estimated iodine index calculated by the% of fatty acid with the sample multiplied by the iodine value of the fatty acid.
