- Results expressed as mean values and standard deviation of the means for 3 independent tests
- Σ SFA- sum of saturated fatty acids; Σ UFA- sum of unsaturated fatty acids; Σ MUFA- sum of mono-unsaturated fatty acids; Σ PUFA- sum of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Σ n-3-sum of all the omega 3 fatty acids; Σ n-6- sum of all omega-6 fatty acids
- Average content of C14: 0, C16: 1, C18: 1(n-7), C20: 0 and C20: 1(n-9), were lower than 0.5% of total fatty acids and for this reason, are not shown in the table
