Data were given as average of the sums of specific fatty acids (cf. Tables 3, 4 for the single fatty acid content). As matrix-specific accuracy (RSD) does not exist, relative standard deviations (%) of the single sum of fatty acids were given in brackets. For averages ± SD cf. Table 2. SFA, Saturated fatty acids; MUFA, Monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA, Polyunsaturated fatty acids.
