The FA composition of the oils and their blends was determined by GC−FID. Two Way ANOVA and Bonferroni Posttests were applied to determine statistically significant differences between and among different FA present in the oils and blends. S represents total saturated fatty acids, M represents total monounsaturated fatty acids and P represents total polyunsaturated fatty acids. Different letters in a row represent statistically significant difference between the means
