The fatty acid profile (in mole%) is given for the three acyl positions of the molecule (1, 2 and 3).

It can be seen that the saturated fatty acids are more abundant at the sn-1 and 3 positions and unsaturated ones at the sn-2 position (except for 18:3 in soya bean). Among monoenes, 18:1 is regularly distributed but 22:1 (erucic acid) and 20:1 are clearly more abundant at the external positions.
