Unsaturated fatty acids do have one or more double bonds in their alkenic chain. In some extremely rare cases, unsaturated fatty acids contain even a triple bond. Basically double bond containing fatty acids can be classified into monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) and polyunsaturated fatty acids ...
Fatty acids are mostly divided into two groups – saturated andunsaturated fatty acids.Unsaturated fatty acidshave one or more double bonds between carbon atoms, whereassaturated fatty acidshave no double bond.Unsaturated fatty acidsthat contain only one double bond are calledmonounsaturated fatty acidsa...
Such fat molecules are MUFA if they contain one double bond and PUFA if they contain more than one. These double bonds may be either cis or trans. Cis isomers are the most common in unprocessed foodstuffs. Trans forms (i.e., trans-MUFA, trans-PUFA) and conjugated forms of fatty acids ...
Highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs) are fatty acids with more than three double bonds in the molecule. Mammalian testes contain very high levels of omega-6 HUFAs compared with other tissues. However, the metabolic and biological significance of these
Both animal and vegetable oils contain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, but usually animal oils contain more saturated fatty acids, and vegetable oils contain more unsaturated fatty acids. This results in animal oils being mostly solid or semi-solid at room temperature of 15 to 30 ° C, ...
It is worth noting that in the workflow of C=C location assignment fatty acyl chain composition needs to be determined first. If there is only one or one dominant of unsaturated fatty acyl composition of the unknown lipid, which is the case for most GPs reported herein, the locations of C...
Although it has been suggested that dietary fatty acids influence tenderness and juiciness, they are more likely to be affected by the total amount of fatty acids rather than the individual ones. The effects of the fatty acids on firmness are due to the different melting points of the fatty ...
Dark meat was found to contain slightly more than twice as much Iron as white meat (8.42 ± 1.46 vs 3.94 ± 0.42 mg/kg), respectively. The means for total iron reported in this study for both white (breasts) and dark (drumsticks) chicken meat, are similar to the 5 and ...
However, many studies showed that the adverse effects of TUFA on the coronary risk factors (increase in LDL, decrease in HDL) are more severe than those of saturated fatty acids (4, 6, 7). One reason for this is that while the saturated fatty acids increase the HDL cholesterol, TUFA ...
