1.Relating to an organic compound in which two or more of the carbon atoms are joined by a double or triple bond and therefore can be combined with additional atoms or radicals. Benzene and unsaturated fatty acids are examples of unsaturated compounds. Comparesaturated,monounsaturated,polyunsaturated...
Unsaturated fatty acidsrefer to one or more double carbon-to-carbon bonds in the chain. If fatty acids contain one double bond, they are called monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), and when there are two or more double bonds, they are calledpolyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFA) (Nawar, 1996). ...

The unsaturated fatty acids form unsaturated fats, which are soft; some are liquid at room temperature. Other fatty acids are “saturated fatty acids,” which means they have no double bonds in their molecule. They form saturated fats sometimes referred to as hard fats. The saturated fatty ...

Significant changes are observed in content of fatty acids with 20 carbon atoms: the ratio of unsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids decreases by 3.3 times. The changes in fatty acid composition of mitochondrial membranes are in correlation with changes in maximum rates of NAD-dependent ...
Fatty acids (FAs) are the central components of life: they constitute biological membranes in the form of lipid, act as signaling molecules, and are used as energy sources. FAs are classified according to their chain lengths and the number and position of carbon–carbon double bond, and their...
Tissue composition data eombined with isolated enzyme studies and isotope tracer experiments with whole organisms show unquestionably that structural differences between various fatty acid isomers influence specific biochemical transformations. Examples are differences in the reaction rates andl or specificities ...
2.Whether a fat is saturated or unsaturated depends on the way that carbon atoms in the long chains of fatty acids found in fat molecules are connected to one another. 3.Olive oil, corn oil, canola oil, and cod liver oil are examples of unsaturated fats. 4.I find it easier to work ...
THE 'end carbon chain', shown to be the key factor in relating the retention time of unsaturated fatty acids of differing chain-length but the same number of double bonds, was originally defined as the number of carbon atoms beyond the double bond farthest removed from the carboxyl group 1 ...
