Table 2

Characterization of milk fat and fish oil samples.

Sample	EPA (% of PUFAs)	DHA (% of PUFAs)	PV (meqO2/kg)
MF	0.044 ± 0.01	0.006 ± 0.01	0.5 ± 0.02
FO	7.19 ± 0.51	8.21 ± 0.69	1.75 ± 0.13

Mf = milk fat; FO = fish oil; EPA = eicosapentaenoic acid; DHA = docosahexaenoic acid; PUFAs = polyunsaturated fatty acids; PV = peroxide value. The MFOB samples possessed the EPA 2.24 ± 0.16 (g/100 g extracted fat) and DHA 3.33 ± 0.18 (g/100 g extracted fat), while PV was 1.44 ± 0.11 meqO₂/kg.
