Values are the means of three measurements (n = 3). Different superscript letters (a–c) in the same row indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) among fatty acids of the unfermented and fermented substrates (ANOVA “Tukey’s Multiple Comparison Test”). C16:0 palmitic; C16:1(n − 9) cis-7 hexadecenoic; C16:1(n − 7) palmitoleic; C17:0 margaric; C17:1(n − 9) heptadecenoic; C18:0, stearic; C18:1(n − 9), oleic; C18:1(n − 7), vaccenic; C18:2(n − 6), linoleic; C18:3(n − 3), α-linolenic; C20:0, arachidic; C20:1(n − 9), 11-eicosenoic; SFAs saturated fatty acids; MUFAs monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFAs polyunsaturated fatty acids
