What type of fatty acids dose butter contain and how do you know?
Butter contains saturated fatty acids. We can know this because saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature, and butter is solid at room temperature.
What nutrient is made of fatty acids?
i dont f ukin know
How are hydrocarbon fatty acids classified depending upon their nature?
Fatty acids are NOT hydrocarbons. Fatty acids are carboxylic acids containing the functional group -COOH. Hydrocarbons contain only carbon and hydrogen. It is absolutely crucial in all branches of chemistry to know exactly what the words mean and to use them precisely. Carboxylic acids have the general formula RCOOH, where the R is nearly always made of carbon and hydrogen. There are several ways to classify them, but the one met most frequently looks at the saturation of the R- group. If there are no double bonds it is saturated, one double bond makes it mono-unsaturated, and many double bonds make it polyunsaturated.
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.

What nutrients does butter contain?
Butter is often mistaken for it's health benefits. I know that butter has many different vitamins in it like Vitamin A and antioxidants. It also has a lot of fatty acids that support a healthy heart, thyroid, adrenal, lower cholesterol, and helps to prevent certain cancers. Also, my doctor told me it has something in it that no other food has and it supports brain growth in adolescent years.
What is the chemical equation for butter?
Fat is actually not a compound, it is a mixture of many esterified acids called 'fatty acids'. But it is basically a triglyceride, a triester of Glycerol (C3H5(OH)3) with fatty acids (R):CH2ORCHOR'CH2ORThe symbol R represents 'aliphatic carboxyl groups' with linear, even numbered, alkane or alkene chains.General formula -C(O)-(CH2)2n-CH3 with n=0,1,2,3....Some examples of possible fatty acids (esterified, all very common in milk fat)Stearate (from stearic acid): -C(O)-(CH2)16-CH3 with n=8, so 'octadecanoate'Caproate (from Caproic acid): -C(O)-(CH2)4-CH3 with n=2, so 'hexanoate'Butyrate (from Butyric acid): -C(O)-(CH2)2-CH3 with n=1, so 'butanoate'
What are the names of the fat molecules?
there is a glycerol and 3 fatty acids. all have carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen.
What ghee butter is known for?
What ghee butter is known for? It is a frequently asked question for the dairy lovers. Ghee is considered a healthy fat because it is rich in short-chain fatty acids and fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamin A and vitamin E. It is also free from lactose and casein, making it suitable for people with lactose intolerance or milk allergies. Vegetable oils may contain chemicals, preservatives, and other additives, which cause quick oxidation. But ghee is completely natural and made by boiling pure milk butter. It boosts the nutritional value of your food. Cow ghee has an amazing nutty aroma which adds a distinct flavor to the cooked dishes. However, it is still high in calories and saturated fat, so it should be consumed in moderation. To know more : milkio.co.nz/what-is-ghee-butter/
Do saturated fatty acids have a higher ratio of hydrogen to carbon than do unsaturated fatty acids?
Saturated means that a chemical compound has as many Hydrogens on each Carbon that "it can handle". Unsaturated means that there are places containing double bonds, triple bonds, etc., between the carbons resulting in the compound having less Hydrogens as it could have maximally. Usually all fatty acids have 1 or 2 degrees of unsaturation in their long carbon tails, usually in the form of double bonds.
