L. lumborum samples were packed and frozen to allow timely analysis
in regards to the fatty acid composition. The assays were carried out
at the Chromatographic Assay Center (CEACROM) of the Universidade
Estadual do Sudoeste da Bahia. The total lipids were determined by
the method from Bligh and Dyer (1959). The transesterification of triacylglycerols
(TAGs) to obtain fatty acid methyl esters was performed according
to the 5509 ISO (1978)
