2.4 Determination of fatty acids
The derivatization of these compounds was carried out using the method
of Ichihara and Fukubayashi (2010). 0.2ml toluene, 1.5ml methanol and a
mixture of 1ml concentrated hydrochloric acid with 4.3ml methanol were
added to the extracted lipids and the mixture was incubated at 45°C,
then FAMEs were extracted with 1.5ml hexane and 1ml of water. Varian
CP-3800 Gas Chromatograph conditions were as follows (Table 3).

Statistical analysis
For the evaluation of the data obtained, an analysis of variance (ANOVA)
and Tukey’s post hoc test will be carried out to evaluate the value of
significance (α=0.05). Likewise, for the relationship of the lipid
profile and fatty acids against the crops, a design of significant
effects and graphs (Pareto) will be carried out in the statistical
program Minitab 16.
