Ctrl-BSA, control using BSA; Ctrl ALA, control using ALA (50 μM); C3G, cyaniding-3-glucoside (5 μM); M3G, malvidin-3-glucoside (5 μM); D3G, dephinidin-3-glucoside (5 μM); GA (5 μM); PCA, p-coumaric acid (5 μM); SYA, syringic acid (5 μM).

a

Values are means±S.D. (n=3).

b

Mean values were significantly different compared with control-ALA (P<.05).

c

Mean values were significantly different compared with control-BSA (P<.05).

d

Two-way ANOVA: time, significant influence of incubation time (24 h or 48 h) on fatty acid composition; Treatment, significant influence of BSA, ALA, ACNs or their metabolites on fatty acid composition; T×T, interaction. NS, not significant (P>.05).
