The structure of the soybean oil has been shown differently in different references (for example: in the number of double bonds and configuration). What is the accurate structure?

There are many components in soybean oil. they are mainly triglyceride. after alcoholysis (or Transesterification), several fatty acid methyl esters are its main ingredients. They are palmitic (16:0) about 10.7 wt.%, stearic (18:0) about 3.2%, oleic (18:1) about 25.0%, linoleic (18:2) about 53.2%, linolenic (18:3) about 5.4%, other 2.6% fatty acid methyl esters. Different breeds and origins are slightly different.
the accurate structure of the ingredients can be checked in papers:
