Unsaturated bond
polyunsaturated
That would be called polyunsaturated.
Long-chain-fatty-acids that contains no C=C( double bonds) is called saturated all carbon to carbon bonds are single . Fatty acid that possesses one C=C ( double bond ) is called mono-unsaturated eg oleic acid , one that has two or more C=C double bonds is called poly-unsaturated eg. arachidonic acid .
It means that this margarine contains (one or more) types of polyunsaturated fats.Polyunsaturated fats are triglycerides in which the hydrocarbon tails constitutes polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (fatty acids possessing more than a single carbon-carbon double bond)."Unsaturated" refers to the fact that the molecules contain less than the maximum amount of hydrogen. These materials exist as cis or trans isomers depending on the geometry of the double bond. 'Cis-bond' fats are more healthy than trans-fats.Some types of PUFA's:Omega-3,6 fatty acidOmega-3, 6, 9 fatty acidConjugated linoleic acid
It has more hydrogen atoms and fewer double bonds between carbon atoms.
polyunsaturated
The polyunsaturated lipid contains more than one -C=C- double bond. Lipids are Oils from plant sources and Fats from animal sources.
Fatty acids are made of two things: hydrocarbon chainsand a carboxyl group.Fatty acids can be saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated, the difference lying in bonds found within a fatty acid. A saturated fatty acid contains a maximum number of hydrogen atoms in the hydrocarbon chains. A polyunsaturated fatty acid or monounsaturated fatty acid is one that does not contain all possible hydrogen atoms. Monounsaturated fatty acids contain one carbon-carbon double bond in their hydrocarbon chain. Polyunsaturated fatty acids contain more than one.
Polyunsaturated fats
Polyunsaturated fats.
A fatty acid with two or more points of unsaturation is a polyunsaturated fat. Unsaturated fatty acids are typically found in vegetable sources.
That would be called polyunsaturated.
Polyunsaturated fat, or polyunsaturated fatty acid, are fatty acids in which more than one double bond exists within the representative molecule. From a chemical standpoint, polyunsaturated fats are simply fats that have more than one double-bonded carbon in the molecule. Polyunsaturated fats are typically liquid at room temperature and when chilled.
Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between the individual carbon atoms of the fatty acid chain; the chain of carbon atoms is fully "saturated" with hydrogen atoms.A fat molecule is monounsaturated if it contains one double bond, and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond; where double bonds are formed, hydrogen atoms are eliminated
Long-chain-fatty-acids that contains no C=C( double bonds) is called saturated all carbon to carbon bonds are single . Fatty acid that possesses one C=C ( double bond ) is called mono-unsaturated eg oleic acid , one that has two or more C=C double bonds is called poly-unsaturated eg. arachidonic acid .
The term trans fat generally refers to a fat that contains one or more trans fatty acid groups.fers to a fat that contains one or more trans fatty acid groups
We can consider two effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids: First, as vital components of biological membranes. Fatty acids are, beside proteins, the most important components of biological membranes (i.e., plasma membrane and organelles). The more unsaturated the fatty acid is, the more water-permeable is, and also to the phenomenon called "membrane fluidity". We can find polyunsaturated fatty acids in digestive system, arteries and liver. In this case, polyunsaturated fatty acids act as structural components of a tissues and organs highly specialized of the physiological systems; and second, the metabolism of fatty acids (beta oxidation), and in particular of polyunsaturated ones, produces a high amount of acetyl-coA, a vital molecule of the citric acid cycle and eventually for the synthesis of ATP.
