Unsaturated fatty acids that have changed to saturated fatty acids are called?

Hydrogenated fatty acids.


Why are cis fatty acids rearranged to trans fatty acids in the process of partial hydrogenation?

During partial hydrogenation, cis fatty acids are rearranged to trans fatty acids because of the difference in the spatial orientation of hydrogen atoms on the carbon chain. The catalyst used in the process favors the alignment of hydrogen atoms on opposite sides of the carbon chain, leading to the formation of trans double bonds. This process changes the structure of the fatty acids from a cis to a trans configuration.


What is a by-product of hydrogenation?

trans fatty acids


What is a by product of hydrogenation?

trans fatty acids


Can all fatty acids be synthesized in the body?

No, not all fatty acids can be synthesized by the body. The body is not capable of synthesizing polyunsaturated or trans fatty acids.


What acid present in litchi fruit?

Litchis contain a lot of Protein & Amino Acids. They also give us essential fatty acids like Omega - 3 and 6 fatty acids, trans-polyenoic fatty acids, trans-monoenoic fatty acids etc.


How does Trans Fatty Acid influence Heart Disease?

Yes, and is actually worse than the sys form of fatty acids. The only difference between sys and trans fatty acids are the angles of the molecules. In nature, only sys fatty acids are made, but through chemistry (or through over heating oils), we are able to make trans fatty acids. The problem is that your body can only recognize the sys form. So if you have sys fatty acids in your body, your body knows how to remove them, but if you have trans fatty acids in your body, your body doesn't know how to remove them. As a result the trans fatty acids build up in your system and can cause heart disease. Sys fatty acids can cause heart disease also, but since your body is constantly removing them, it forms slower than the trans form.


DOES trans fatty acids help lower LDL cholesterol levels?

No, trans-fatty acids raises LDL and lowers HDL. Omega-3 Fatty Acids help reduce LDL and raise HDL. Omega-3 Fatty Acids are found in fish, flaxseed, nuts and soy.

When polyunsaturated oils are hydrogenated?

trans fatty acids are produced?


What is the difference between cis- and trans-fatty acids?

Just the difference between cis and trans isomers. The arrangement of functional groups around double bonded carbons. Same groups lined up on the same side are cis fatties and alternate groups lined up on the different sides are trans fatty acids.


Do trans or cis fatty acids have a higher melting point?

The trans fatty acid has a higher melting point. The trans isomer is straighter in shape and this allows the molecules to be packed closer together. The molecules are hence held together by greater Van der Waal's force.
