(a) Chromatographic fatty acid profile of Hancornia speciosa leaf samples. (b) Chemical composition of fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs): caprylic acid (C8:0), capric acid (C10:0), lauric acid (C12:0), tridecanooic acid (C13:0), myristic acid (C14:0), myristoleic acid (C14:1), pentadecanoic (C15:0), palmitic acid (C16:0), palmitoleic acid (C16:1), heptadecanoic acid (C17:0), cis-10-heptadecanoic acid (C17:1), stearic acid (C18:0), oleic acid (C18:1n9c+t), linoleic acid (C18:2n6c), α-linolenic acid (C18:3n3), arachidic acid (C20:0), cis-11-eicosenoic acid (C20:1), cis-11,14-eicosadienoic acid (C20:2), heneicosanoic acid (C21:0), behenic acid (C22:0), tricosanoic acid (C23:0), and nervonic acid (C24:1). (c) Total composition of saturated fatty acids (SFAs), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) of Hancornia speciosa leaf samples. Values are expressed as the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments performed in duplicate. compared with the SFA group versus the PUFA group; compared with the MUFA group versus the PUFA and SFA groups; and compared with the PUFA group versus the MUFA groups.
