a. SATURATED FATS FROM NONSATURATED FATS An unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain. A fat molecule is monounsaturated if it contains one double bond‚ and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond. Where double bonds are formed‚ hydrogen atoms are eliminated. Thus‚ asaturated fat has no double bonds‚ has the maximum number of hydrogens bonded to the carbons‚ and therefore is "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. In cellularmetabolism

Saturated fat Saturated fat has all single bonds. Saturated fats are made of long chains of carbon atoms and they are together by single bonds such as; (-c-c-) they also can be linked by double bonds. Double bonds can react with hydrogen so it can form a single bond and that’s called saturated. They call it saturated because the bond will break and each half would connect to a hydrogen atom. Things that saturated fat is in are: cream‚ cheese‚ butter‚ and other dairy products. Saturated fats is also

Timia Roberts Chemistry March‚29‚17 Saturated Fat Saturated fat is a type of fat in which the fatty acids all have single bonds. It’s made up of two kinds of smaller molecules called monoglyceride and fatty acids. The fat is linked with a double bond. Double bonds can work with hydrogen to form a single bond. When the second bond breaks‚ each half of the bond is attached to a hydrogen atom. Saturated fat is mixed in all kinds of our everyday food. Its mixed in lamb‚ pork‚ butter‚ cheese

Introduction What is fat? Fat is one of the major nutrients needed in the human body. As soon as somebody mentions fat you automatically think of butter‚ greasy foods like French fries‚ and meat. However‚ oils that are stored at room temperature are fats too. But there is also a good side to fat. We need to keep a healthy amount of it to help our body function properly also if we consume too much of it you could have major health problems. There are three main forms of Ground Beef needed in this

FATS AND OIL DEFINITION: Fats and oils‚ group of organic substances that form an important part of the diet and also are useful in many industries. The fats are usually solid‚ the oils generally liquid at ordinary room temperatures. Some tropical products‚ liquids in their sites of origin‚ become solids in cooler climates; in commerce these often retain the name originally given‚ e.g.‚ palm oil and coconut oil. Chemically fats and oils are either simple or mixed glyceryl esters of organic acids

Trans fat has been a topic that mostly now brings great concern to our society. Not all fats are bad. According to the article of food safety‚ trans fats are when manufactures add hydrogen to vegetable-oil a process called Hydrogenation. Hydrogenation is use to increase shell life and flavor. There are two types of trans fats‚ found in dairy and meat. Natural trans-fat is not a concern; in our society the concern has been focused on artificial trans fats. There is a range of food products where

our obsession with low-fat foods. We’re bombarded with supposedly guilt-free options: baked potato chips‚ fat-free ice cream‚ low-fat candies‚ cookies‚ and cakes. But while our low-fat options have exploded‚ so have obesity rates. Clearly‚ low-fat foods and diets haven’t delivered on their trim‚ healthy promises. Despite what you may have been told‚ fat isn’t always the bad guy in the waistline wars. Bad fats‚ such as trans fats‚ are guilty of the unhealthy things all fats have been blamed for—weight

Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between the individual carbon atoms of the fatty acid chain. That is‚ the chain of carbon atoms is fully saturated with hydrogen atoms. There are
