* Absence of Ln. uIV is expressed as IV unit. Abbreviations: SFA—saturated fatty acid; MUFA—monounsaturated fatty acid; PUFA—polyunsaturated fatty acid; UFA—unsaturated fatty acid; ω-3—omega-3 fatty acid; O—oleic fatty acid; L—linoleic fatty acid; Ln—linolenic fatty acid; IV—iodine value. Values derived from 1H NMR data are presented as mean ± SD molar % (FA) and mean ± SD IV unit of oil.
