¹The data are expressed as the percentage of total identified fatty acids.
²SFA = sum of C10:0 + C12:0 + C14:0 + C16:0 + C17:0 + C18:0.
³UFA = sum of C16:1 + C18:1n-9 + C18:2n-6 + C18:3n-3.
⁴MUFA = sum of C16:1 + C18:1n-9.
⁵PUFAn-3 = sum of C18:3n-3.
⁶PUFAn-6 = sum of 18:2n-6.
⁷n-6 : n-3 FAR = (C18:2n-6) ÷ (C18:3n-3).
