PLA palmitic acid (C16:0), POA palmitoleic acid (C16:1, ω-9); STA stearic acid (C18:0); OLA oleic acid (C18:1, ω-9); LLA linoleic acid (C18:2, ω-6), LnA linolenic acid (C18:3, ω-3); AA arachidonic acid (C20:4, ω-6), EPA eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5, ω-3); DPA docosapentaenoic acid (C22:5, ω-3); LGN lignoceric acid (C24:0); DHA docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6, ω-3) and NVA nervonic acid (C24:1, ω-9).
