Table 5.
Typical fatty acid content of phospholipids and triglycerides
| Phospholipids (%) | Triglycerides (%) | |
|---|---|---|
| Total SFA | 40–50 | 30–40 |
| Total MUFA | 10–15 | 35–45 |
| LA | 20–25 | 15–25 |
| ALA | <0.5 | 0.8–1.5 |
| HUFA | 18–25 | 1–5 |
SFA = saturated fatty acid; MUFA = monounsaturated fatty acid; LA = linoleic acid; ALA = alpha linolenic acid; HUFA = highly unsaturated fatty acid.
