Is Stearic acid a trans fatty acid?
No, stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid found in various animal and plant fats. It is not considered a trans fatty acid, which are mostly found in partially hydrogenated oils.
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.
Are trans fatty acids made by the body in large quantities?
No, trans fatty acids are not made by the body in large quantities. They are primarily found in processed foods containing hydrogenated oils. Consuming high levels of trans fats can increase the risk of heart disease and other health issues.
Are trans fatty acid routinely made by the human body?
Trans fat is the common name for unsaturatedfatwith transisomer fatty acid.
Is trans fat an unsaturated fatty acid that has been changed to a polyunsaturated fatty acid?
Trans fat is a type of unsaturated fatty acid, but it is not simply a changed polyunsaturated fatty acid. Instead, trans fats are created through a process called hydrogenation, which converts liquid vegetable oils into solid fats. This process alters the chemical structure of the fatty acids, resulting in trans isomers that can have negative health effects. Therefore, while trans fats are unsaturated, they are distinct from polyunsaturated fatty acids.
What is a by-product of hydrogenation?
trans fatty acids
What is a by product of hydrogenation?

What is transfats?
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
Unsaturated fatty acids that have changed to saturated fatty acids are called?
Hydrogenated fatty acids.
What is the name of the type of fatty acid that is found in hydrogenated margarine and cooking oils that can increase unhealthy blood lipid levels?
Trans
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.
