PTF0%, PTF6%, PTF12%, PTF17%, and PTF23% mean pasta with 0%, 6%, 12%, 17%, and 23% (w/w) of tilapia flour, respectively. ∑ SFA: sum of saturated fatty acid; ∑ MUFA: sum of monounsaturated fatty acid; ∑ PUFA: sum of polyunsaturated fatty acid. Results are expressed as means ± standard deviation (n = 3). Different letters indicate differences (p < 0.05) among formulations.
