C1- C6, sea buckthorn (ssp. carpatica) cultivars.
Values are mean ± SD of three samples of each fruit part, analyzed individually in triplicate. Means in the same row followed by different superscript letters indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) among cultivars (C1-C5); means in the same column followed by different subscript letters indicate significant differences (p < 0.05) between fatty acid classes of each cultivar; SFAs, saturated fatty acids; MUFAs, monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFAs, polyunsaturated fatty acids.
