Assessment of the fatty acid patterns in vegetable oils, fats and fat-rich foods commonly consumed in Egypt
Forty-one individual food samples were analyzed for their fatty acid contents by gas-liquid chromatography using capillary tubes. The samples belonged to 5 different food groups and included vegetable oils, butter & ghee, animal fats, dairy products, fishes, chicken & meats and other popular...
