The experimental determination was carried out by gas chromatography and the results revealed the following order as to the content of total lipids is concerned: R > L > P. The proportion of fatty acids in descending order was: oleic acid > palmitic acid > linoleic acid >myristic acid. The ANOVA-I revealed statistically significant differences (p <0.05) of the total lipid content in the analyzed brands, as well as the proportions of palmitic, oleic and linoleic acids. Possibly, these trademarks use the same source and frying oils and different post-frying process drying.
