Palmitic acid was the main saturated fatty acid (SFA) in the chicken thigh samples. The values of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) were 2.6–11.1 (g/100 g) (dry basis), oleic acid the most predominant MUFA. The range of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) was 1.50–4.9 (g/100 g) (dry basis). During refrigeration, the levels of PUFA decreased in all treatments.
