SFAs—saturated fatty acids. MUFAs—monounsaturated fatty acids. PUFAs - polyunsaturated fatty acids. The data shown are mean values ± SD (n = 3). nd - not detectable. DM—dry mass. FW—fresh weight. Different letters (a–d) in the same column denote a significant difference among varieties, according to Tukey’s test. p < 0.05.
