Q

What is the common name of trans-oleic acid

A

elaidic acid

20
Q

The melting point of fatty acids is affected by:
A. The chain length
B. The number of double bonds
C. The double bond configuration, cis or trans
D. All of the above
E. None of the above

A

All of the above

21
Q

What is the shorthand name of linoleic acid?

A

C18:2(cis9-cis12)

22
Q

T or F : CLA is a positional isomers of linoleic acid

A

True, it si the conjugated linoleic acid

23
Q

What is the difference between a positional and geometric isomer

A
24
Q

What is a conjugated FA?

A

At least one double bond alternate with single bonds C=C-C=C

25
Q

What are conjugated FA?

A

FA in which the double bond are separated by a methly group C=C-CH2-C=C

26
Q

What is a mixed bonding system?

A

The mixed bonding system leads to formation of an ACTIVE METHYLENE group (*), which is positioned between a conjugated and unconjugated double bonds

27
Q

What is reversion?

A

phenomenon associated with soybean and fish oils, which is defined as the appearance of objectionable flavor from less oxidation than is required to produce true rancidity

28
Q

What is the bonding configuration responsible for the reversion phenomenon?

A

Mixed bonding system

29
Q

Long chained polyunsaturated cis fatty acids:

A. Give better packed, more stable crystalline lattice that requires high temperature to melt

B. Give less stable crystalline lattice than their trans isomers thus the melting point is less C. Have no effect on the stability of the crystalline lattice

A

B

30
Q

Oleic acid 18:1 cis-9 is considered:
A. n3 fatty acid
B. n6 fatty acid
C. n9 fatty acid
D. Not an omega acid

A

C

31
Q

What are acetylenic fatty acids

A

less common type of fatty acid with a tipple bond

32
Q

Octadeca 9,12,15-trienoic acid is a fatty acid with:
A. 18 C atoms and 3 double bonds

B. 9 C atoms with 3 double bonds

C. 18 C atoms with no double bonds

A

A

33
Q

Double bonds that are next to each other and not interrupted by a methylene (CH2) group are called:

A

Conjugated

34
Q

When the first double bound is located on the third C atom starting the count from the CH3 end, this fatty acid is labelled as:

A

omega-3

35
Q

T or F : Cis-to-trans conversion is often the main mechanism for oils becoming plastic fats during hydrogenation, rather than the desired reduction in the degree of unsaturation

A

T

36
Q

Complete : The cis‐configuration in oleic acid causes a bending of about ____

A

40˚

37
Q

T or F : the odd number carbon chains will have a lower melting point

A

true – > Odd‐numbered as well as unsaturated fatty acids cannot be uniformly packed into a crystalline lattice as can the saturated and even‐numbered

38
Q

T or F : The molecular arrangement in the crystalline lattice of unsaturated fatty acids is not strongly influenced by trans double bonds

A

True because the trans double bonds doesn’t create a kink in the structure

39
Q

T or F : The omega nomenclature system is based on the assumption that all natural fatty acids are in the cis form and the double bonds will be always be unconjugated

A

True

40
Q

What is the most common CLA

A

rumeric acid (C18:2)

41
Q

Which one would have a lower melting point : oleic or omega-9?

A

omega-9 because it is automatically cis and oleic might be a trans because it is not specified

42
Q

Which one has a lower melting point, the omega-6 or omega-3 family?

A

omega-3 because it means that more double bonds since the first one is at carbon 3 from the methyl end

43
Q

Which one has a lower melting point : gamma-linoleic or linoleic

A

gamma linoleic (C18:3) has a lower melting point than linoleic (C18:2)

44
Q

True or False : linoleic systematic name means that there is always 2 doubles bonds.

A

false, the gamma-linoleic has 3. linoleic means it will be 18 carbons but doesn’t specifiy the number of double bonds. However, the most common one is C18:2(9,12)

45
Q

Which one has the highest melting point : elaidic or stearic

A

elaidic (C18:1 (tr9)) has a lower melting point than stearic (C18:0)

46
Q

Which one would have a lower melting point : oleic acid or cis-2-octadecenoic aicd

A

oleic acid since it is C18:1(9) and the cis-2-octadecenoic acid double bond is at the end of the chain.
