Q

All Essential Fatty Acids are __________ Fatty Acids.

A

Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids

34
Q

Define polyunsaturated Fats

A

Fats consist of carbon chains and when there are breaks in the double bonds in the chain it lowers the melting point. Saturated fats have no breaks in the chain and will remain semi-stable at room temp. Monosaturated fats have one break (olive oil) and will begin to solidify in cold temps.

Polyunsaturated Fats (EFA) have two breaks in their carbon chain and will remain solid even in the fridge.

35
Q

Why do people “hydrogenate” polyunsaturated fats?

A

Because Polyunsaturated Fats have a tendency for rancidity so they are saturated by bubbling hydrogen gas through the oils so the empty spots in the carbon chain are filled creating a hydrogenated oil known as a trans fat.
