Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats are healthy in some ways, but saturated and trans fats have a different chemical structure and can have detrimental effects on your health. Saturated fats get their name because they are fat molecules that are saturated with hydrogen. This means that they’re...
because of their chemical structure, saturated fats interact differently with the body than unsaturated fats. quick chemistry lesson: saturated fats are made up of fatty acid chains that are saturated with hydrogen molecules (hence the name). their structure makes it so that many chains can line ...
Some vegetable oils undergo hydrogenation. This is when hydrogen is added to an unsaturated fat to make it saturated. However, the chemical structure is in the trans configuration, rather than the cis which is natural to our body. Trans fats are terrible and I am sure you can find a wealth...
Chemical Structure: Saturated monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats differ in the chemical structure. Saturated fats lack duplicate bonds in their fatty acid chains, while monounsaturated fats have one duplicate bond, and polyunsaturated fats have two or more duplicate bonds. Food Sources: Saturated mon...
And if there’s one type of fat you want to avoid, it’s this one. Trans fatty acids are usually the product of industrial food processing, where polyunsaturated fats are artificially “saturated” with extra hydrogen. As we’ve seen, the chemical structure of saturated fatty acids makes ...
The fats in food are categorised on the basis of their chemical structure as saturated, monounsaturated or polyunsaturated. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are further divided intoomega 3sand omega 6s (here's a more detailed description). Individual foods are defined by the major type of fatty acid ...
As mentioned, the term saturated means that this type of fat does not have double bonds in their structure because their carbon chain is saturated with hydrogen atoms.Saturated fats, which are solid at room temperature, are common in the diet because they are present in a variety of dissimilar...
Each fat has a different chemical structure, can come from different sources, and typically is part of a mix of other fat types. The way that fats (foods) are processed can also influence these fat types and their overall content for a given food. For example, i...
Saturated and trans fat is abundant in many processed foods and store-bought baked goods, particularly those containing partially hydrogenated oils. Unsaturated fats Unsaturated fats differ from saturated fats in that they have one or more double bonds in their chemical composition. At room temperature...
