  1. L = linoleic; Ln = Linolenic; O = oleic; P = palmitic; S = stearic
  2. ND, not detected
  3. *Triglyceride species for PHSO are not reported since they were not possible to assess due to the complexity of the TG species arising from the the lack of authentic standards to identify the various trans fatty acid isomers present.
