Mean mineral contents [mg/100Â g] of selected edible saturniids. Edible saturniids are to a varying degree rich in fats. For instance, linolenic acid (an essential fatty acid), stearic acid and palmitic acid are the most abundant fatty acids in C. butyrospermi (Anvo et al. 2016; Yapo et al. 2017). Oleic acid, stearic acid, and palmitic acid are the main fatty acids in G. oyemensis (Bi et al. 2015) while linolenic acid, stearic acid and oleic acids dominate the fatty acid profile of C. forda (Akinnawo and Ketiku 2000), and linolenic acid, palmitic acid and oleic acid are the most abundant in G. belina (Glew et al. 1999 Oct 1)
