Data represents the mean ± SD (). Different superscript letters indicate statistical significance of the differences between Seomae mugwort and A. princeps groups, tested by Student’s -test using the SAS. values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. (b)SFA: saturated fatty acids. (c)MUFA: monounsaturated fatty acids. (d)PUFA: polyunsaturated fatty acids.
