DEFINITION AND STRUCTURE OF FATTY ACID
In chemistry, particularly in biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic chain which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have an unbranched chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28.Fatty acids are usually derived from.....
CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF FATTY ACID
1. Hydrolysis
Fats undergo hydrolysis when treated with mineral acids, the alkalies or fat splitting enzyme lipase or hydrolases to yield glycerol and the constituent fatty acids. Hydrolysis by alkalies, such as NaOH or KOH leads to the formation of sodium or potassium.....
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF FATTY ACID
1. Fats and fatty acids are soluble in organic solvents, such as petroleum ether, benzene and chloroform. They are insoluble in water.
2. Saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fatty acids are liquid.
3. Unsaturated fatty acids show cis-trans.....
THE BENEFITS OF FATTY ACIDS
Fats (fatty acids) fall into two main groups β saturated and unsaturated β based on their chemistry. There are three major classes of unsaturated fatty acids: omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9. The omega-6s and omega-3s are essential. The omega-9s are non-essential because the body can make them from other.....

TYPES OF FATTY ACID
Fatty acids have carbon-carbon double bonds known as unsaturated. Unsubstantiated fatty acids are known as saturated fatty acids. They also have a long difference.
The length of the free fatty acid chain The fatty acid chain is different in length, often categorized as short to.....
NOMENCLATURE OF FATTY ACIDS
Numbering of the carbon atoms in a fatty acid
The position of the carbon atoms in a fatty acid can be indicated from the COOH- (or carboxy) end, or from the βCH3 (or methyl) end. If indicated from the -COOH end, then the C-1, C-2, C-3, β¦.(etc.) notation is used (blue numerals in the diagram on the right, where C-1 is the.....
FATTY ACIDS SYNTHESIS
Fatty acid synthesis is the creation of fatty acids from acetyl-CoA and NADPH through the action of enzymes called fatty acid synthases. This process takes place in the cytoplasm of the cell. Most of the acetyl-CoA which is converted into fatty acids is derived from carbohydrates via the glycolytic pathway. The glycolytic pathway.....
