¹Odd and branched fatty acids (OBCFA) = Σ(anteiso-C13:0, iso-C15:0, anteiso-C16:0).

²Unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) = Σ(C16:1, cis-9-C18:1, cis-9, cis-12-C18:2, cis-9, cis-12, cis-15-C18:3).

³Total fatty acids (FA) = Σ(C12:0, C14:0, C16:0, OBCFA, C16:1, C18:0, cis-9-C18:1, cis-9, cis-12-C18:2, cis-9, cis-12, cis-15-C18:3).
