^a – % of total fatty acids; * – different from control; ** – different from SN (P < 0.05); SFAs – saturated fatty acids; MUFAs – monounsaturated fatty acid; PUFAs – polyunsaturated fatty acids; UFAs – unsaturated fatty acids. Values are mean ± standard deviation of samples analysed individually in triplicate
