Percent energy of individual fatty acids.

Major fatty acids 10% fat energy 45% fat energy
C4:0–C14:0 0.2   0.9
C16:0 1.5   9.6
C18:0 0   6.6
C18:1n-9 2.4 15.8

Total n-3 PUFA 0.4   0.6
Total n-6 PUFA 4.9   9.1
Total MUFA 2.9 24.1
Total saturated 1.7 10.5

Note: Data are the mean of 3 samples assayed independently with SD ≤ 0.2% energy. Fatty acid content of the diets were determined by gas chromatography-based fatty acid methyl ester analysis. MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acids.
