Identification and Quantification of Fatty Acids in T. viridissima, C. biguttulus, and C. brunneus by GC-MS

Table 3

A comparison of the major fatty acid classes found in both T. viridissima and Chorthippus sp. All values are presented as mg/g of sample dry weight and as (%) of total fatty acid content.

FA class	Average ± SD [mg/g d.w.]
	T. viridissima	Chorthippus sp.
SFAs	32.33 ± 2.90 (31.1%)	20.13 ± 1.68 (32.7%)
MUFAs	37.32 ± 0.46 (35.9%)	15.44 ± 0.40 (25.1%)
PUFAs	34.33 ± 0.41 (33.0%)	25.88 ± 0.37 (42.1%)
n-3 FAs	5.96 ± 0.14 (5.73%)	19.02 ± 0.34 (31.0%)
n-6 FAs	28.36 ± 0.39 (27.2%)	6.86 ± 0.08 (11.1%)

SFAs = saturated fatty acids, MUFAs = monounsaturated fatty acids, and PUFAs = polyunsaturated fatty acids.
