Data are represented as means ± standard deviation (n = 3). MUFA: monounsaturated fatty acids, PUFA: polyunsaturated fatty acids. Different letters indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) among cases (Uppercase letters: dried samples (of the same species), lowercase letters: fresh samples (of the same species)), asterisk *: significant differences between species (of the same year and condition).
