According to Table 2, the predominant fatty acids were palmitic acid (16:0), oleic acid (18:1n-9), stearic acid (18:0) and myristic acid (14:0). Similar results were obtained in Brazilian dairy products including whole milk, described by Nunes and Torres (2010). Oleic acid was the main monounsaturated fatty acid in the samples, contributing to 25.3-26.4% of total fatty acids.
