SFA, saturated fatty acid; MUFA, monounsaturated fatty acid; PUFA, polyunsaturated fatty acid; n-6, Omega-6; n-3, Omega-3; DHA, docosahexaenoic acid, EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid; DPA, docosapentaenoic acid. To determine the quantitative fatty acid (FA) composition, FAs were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results express in molar % of total fatty acids. |
