Description: 

Identity of the fatty acid using lipid number (e.g. C16:2) which includes number of carbons in the fatty acid chain : number of double bonds in the in fatty acid chain and, where indicated, (n-x) notation indicates the location of the first double bond from the terminal end of the Fatty Acid Chain. Unidentified fatty acids (e.g. Unident. FA # 21) were assigned numeric identifiers consistent amongst all samples. See processing description section for more details.
