a
Sample of the NF under its oily form, as produced by the applicant (Batch No. PB16940715.L‐N40 in Tables 1aa and 1bb).
b
Powder form of the NF just after processing.
c
Powder form of the NF after 11 months of storage at +20°C under nitrogen atmosphere.
d
Indicative ratio calculated as [DHA% in the powder (as TG)]/[FA% in powder (as TG)].
