Where more than one cultivar has been analysed, the maximum and minimum values of the obtained data range are shown. Where only one cultivar has been analysed, the mean ± standard deviation is reported. PA: Palmitic Acid (16:0); SA: Stearic Acid (18:0); OA: Oleic Acid (18:2, n-9); LA: Linoleic Acid (18:2, n-6); GLA: γ-Linolenic Acid (18:3, n-6); ALA: α-Linolenic Acid (18:3, n-3); SDA: Stearidonic Acid (18:4, n-3); ∑-SFA: Total Saturated Fatty Acid; ∑-MUFA: Total Monounsaturated Fatty Acid; ∑-PUFA: Total Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid; n.a.: not available.
