What is the difference between fatty acids and free fatty acids?
Giber1
Free fatty acids are those long chain acids (fatty acids) that are not conjugated or attached to anything else. That is, they are "free", and not bound. Fatty acids that are attached to, for example, glycerol, are not longer considered "free". They can also be bound to proteins, like albumin, again, making them not "free", because they are bound.

Difference between acid value and free fatty acid?
Free fatty acids are created by separating fatty acids from the fat molecule. To find the ration you must add a solvent agent. The lower the ratio is the better the storage and shelf life of the respective oil or fat will be.
Difference between non esterified fatty acids and free fatty acids?
Essentially, there is no difference. Some prefer to use the term non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) compared with free fatty acid (FFA) because many find the term FFA confusing with respect to fatty acids that circulate within the bloodstream which are 'bound' to albumin, but not esterified to another chemical moiety compared with intracellular fatty acids that are not 'bound' to albumin which are also not esterified to another chemical moiety.

Fatty acids are ubiquitous in the environment and you will see 100s of ng of these acids in your lab blank regardless of how you clean it.
Relationship between Free fatty acids and Peroxide value in edible oil?
When edible oil is exposed to air, it is attacked by atmospheric oxygen which yields free fatty acids in the oil and this leads to a process called rancidity. Peroxide value measures the amount of rancidity that has taken place. Ejike(swaggalicious)
Why do saturated fatty acids have structures while unsaturated fatty acids have bent structures?
Because unsaturated fatty acids have many double bonds and the atoms cannot rotate freely around those double bonds. In the saturated fatty acids, there are no double bonds (only single bonds) and so the atoms are free to rotate.
