a,b,cDifferent superscripts indicate significant differences among different yogurt samples within the same row (p < 0.05) when means are compared using a Fisher’s LSD multiple comparison test. SFA: saturated fatty acid; MUFA: monounsaturated fatty acid; PUFA: polyunsaturated fatty acid; ND: non detectable.
