What fats are unsaturated?
unsaturated fats are fats that are healthy for you and eat up other more less healthy fats in your body
Examples of unsaturated?
its a solution that contains less solute than a saturated solution at a given temperatre and pressure. Salt can be added to a glass of water and will continue to dissolve.
What is the difference between saturated fat and unsaturated fat?
I'll charitably assume that you don't have internet access properly where you live, since even a child could use Google to look this up online. Saturated fats bad. Unsaturated fats better. Polyunsaturated fats best. Trans fats not good. Hydrogenated fats bad. Unsaturated fats are more easily broken-down in our digestive system, so they cause less damage than saturated fats. They have a different structure from saturated fats, best explained as weak spots in their carbon chains. HOWEVER, carbohydrates are a much bigger danger to you, they keep your blood sugar high, which damages your arteries and all of your organs, especially the pancreas, which then can't control your blood sugar properly and the damage continues. Fat deposits can build up in the damaged areas of arteries, causing blockages. Without the damage the fats would be just pumped around to somewhere they can be useful.
Are unsaturated fats less susceptible to rancidity than saturated fats?
No; The more polyunsaturated a fat is, the faster it will go rancid. That is why flax oil must be refrigerated (if you plan to eat it) but butter doesn't have to be refrigerated.
How are unsaturated fats better than saturated fats?
While there isn't a recommended intake amount for unsaturated fat total fat intake should be between 20 to 35 percent. Eating between 20 to 35 percent of your total daily calories as fats from foods like fish, nuts, and vegetable oils while limiting the amount of saturated fats to less than 7 percent of the total daily calories is recommended. Some high unsaturated food sources are avocados, olive oil, almonds, salmon and natural peanut butter. Unsaturated fats can be both polyunsaturated and monounsaturated. While monounsaturated fats are predominant in nuts and olive oil you can find polyunsaturated fat in vegetable oils and fatty fish.
Nutritionally saturated triglycerides are considered less healthful than unsaturated What is one major difference between them?
Saturated triglycerides have more hydrogens than unsaturated triglycerides
What is the healthiest type of fat to include in a diet?
poly unsaturated fat, which lowers cholesterol even more than mono unsaturated fat, and maintains the balance of HLS's abd LDL's in the body - essential. Both contain carbon-carbon double bonds, which makes them more reactive
What is the significance of double bonds in the fatty acids?
Fatty acids are either saturated or unsaturated. When a fatty acid is saturated it is literally saturated with hydrogen bonds. This only occurs when there are single bonds present. If there are double bonds present between the carbon atoms, less hyrdogen atoms are required and the fatty acid is said to be unsaturated. These unsaturated fats are easier to break down by the cells of your body because double bonds react more readily.
To lower cardiovascular risk it is recommended that you consume less than of your total daily caloric intake from saturated fat?
Oh yes, saturated fat is quite hazardous to your cardiovascular health. Eat as little as possible. Unsaturated fats are much better for you.
Which is characteristic of unsaturated fats?
An unsaturated fat is a fat or a fatty acid in which there is one or more double bond in the fatty acid chain. Foods containing unsaturated fats include: avocado; nuts; and soybean, canola, and olive oils.
What does the term unsaturated fat on a food label mean?
an unsaturated fat is a fat that contains less than the maximum number of hydrogen atoms in one or more than its fatty chains, and it is healthier than a saturated fat. however, food that is high in unsaturated fats tend to add on the buildup of lipid-containing deposits, called plaque which reduce blood flow and contribute to many kinds of heart disease
What is the chemical difference of saturated fatty acid and unsaturated fatty acid?
Saturated fats are solid at room temperature. They are mainly animal fats such as beef, pork and chicken and in animal products such as milk, butter, cheese and eggs. Too much of these fats can collect along the walls of your blood vessels. This can lead to heart disease, and a poor profile of the bad fat and cholesterol in the blood.Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature. These are mainly plant fats such as corn, safflower, olive, walnut, canola and others. These fats can help clean the blood vessels however; too much of some of these fats can lead to heart disease. Other unsaturated fats, called omega-3 fatty acids can help clear out the blood vessels and also help with brain function and eye function.Saturated fatty acids have carbons joined via single bonds only, Unsaturated have both double bonds and single bonds between the carbon atomsSaturated fatty acids have already formed the maximum number of double hydrogen bonds, while unsaturated ones have not
