The most predominant fatty acids were SFAs, followed by MUFAs and PUFAs. Palmitic acid (C16:0) was the most abundant fatty acid in 14 of the 19 types of biscuits the biscuits. The percentage of C16:0 ranged from 22.73% in a Chocolate Sandwich with cream filling (brand E) to 50.64% in Fine Herbs biscuits. Juan(2000) reported a palmitic acid content of 25.2% in samples of biscuits from Spain. Stearic acid (C18:0) was also found in the samples. The higher concentration of short- and medium-chain fatty acids found was probably due to a greater content of coconut,palm, and palm kernel oils in the biscuits.
