Data are mean of duplicate assay. Only the major fatty acids are shown in the table, and the detected fatty acids include C14:0, C15:0, C16:0, C17:0, C18:0, C14:1, C16:1, C17:1, C18:1n-9, C20:1n-9, C22:1n-9, C24:1n-9; C20:2, C22:2, C18:2n-6, C18:3n-3, C18:3n-6, C20:4n-6, C20:5n-3, C22:5n-3, and C22:6n-3. ∑SFA is the sum of saturated fatty acids. ∑MUFA is the sum of monounsaturated fatty acids. ∑PUFA is the sum of polyunsaturated fatty acids. ∑n-6 PUFA is the sum of n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids. ∑n-3 PUFA is the sum of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids.
