SFA = saturated fatty acids; MUFA = monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA = polyunsaturated fatty acids; h:H ratio = hypocholesterolaemic-to-hypercholesterolaemic fatty acids ratio; AI = atherogenicity index; TI = thrombogenicity index.

^{a, b, c} Within a row, values with different superscript letters differ (P < 0.05). n = 6.

h:H ratio = ([C18:1] + [C18:2] + [C18:3] +[C20:3] + [C20:4])/([C14:0 + [C16:0]), where the brackets indicate the concentrations.

AI = (4 × [C14:0] + [C16:0])/(n-6 PUFA + n-3 PUFA + MUFA), where the brackets indicate the concentrations.

TI = ([C14:0] + [C16:0] + [C18:0])/(0.5 × MUFA + 0.5 × n-6 PUFA + 3 × n-3 PUFA + n-3 PUFA/n-6 PUFA), where the brackets indicate the concentrations.
