    Fats and oils (lipids) are hydrophobic organic compounds, which are formed as a result of triesters of glycerol and three fatty acid chains (carboxylic-acids). These undergo a condensation reaction to form a triglyceride-molecule and the by-product, three molecules of water [1]. The general structure of triglyceride can be presented below:…

    The fats found in foods are divided into four groups; saturated, mono-unsaturated, poly-unsaturated and trans-saturated fats. Each group of fats is differently assimilated by our organism, having good or bad effects upon our health. There are also the fatty acids, which form all the fats mentioned above. The four types of fats are formed from fatty acids, which are, in turn, made up of carbon and hydrogen molecules in different chemical combinations (“Brown 18-3"). These molecules build up fats and oils, biologically known as lipids. Lipids consist in long chains of fatty acids, and these chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms can be saturated or unsaturated (“Brown 18-4"). Usually, a carbon atom has 4 slots where 4 hydrogen atoms should be attached. If, in a fatty acid, all the 4 slots of each carbon have a hydrogen atom attached and other carbons adjacent to it, this means that it is a saturated lipid or fat (“Brown 18-4”). On the other hand, there are cases in which not all the 4 slots of a carbon have a hydrogen atom attached, and there are two slots on adjacent pair of carbon atoms bound to each other that lead to a double carbon-carbon bond; If this double bond occurs only once in the chain, then the fatty acid is a mono-unsaturated one (“Brown 18-4”).The last situation relates to another…

    A: Fats are made up fatty acids and a glycerol. They are stored in cells known as adipocytes throughout the body. When the body needs energy the stored fats are broken down through the process of metabolism and beta oxidation (Livestrong.com, n.d.). For example, triacylglyceride or triglyceride are broken down into their separate parts, fatty acid chains and a glycerol. The body will always metabolize the glycerol first because it is easier to break down for energy but it does not produce the same long lasting energy effects that the fatty acid chains create. The fatty acid chains are broken down into 2 carbon pieces each, which then form acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA can then enter…

    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, unsaturated fat molecules contain somewhat less energy (i.e., fewer calories) than an equivalent amount of saturated fat. The greater the degree of unsaturation in a fatty acid (i.e., the more double bonds in the fatty acid) the more vulnerable it is to lipid peroxidation (rancidity). Antioxidants can protect unsaturated fat from lipid peroxidation.…

    Saturated fats have a chemical makeup in which the carbon atoms are saturated with hydrogen atoms. These fats usually come from animal sources, such as fatty beef, pork, butter, cheese, and other dairy products. Baked and fried foods also contain high levels of saturated fats. Unsaturated fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) are usually found in oils such as canola, olive, and peanut oil, as well as many nuts and seeds. Oily fish such as salmon, tuna, and trout also contain unsaturated fats that are good for the body. Trans fats (trans-fatty acids) are created through an industrial process that adds hydrogen to liquid vegetable oils to make them more solid. These types of bad fats are found in most of our favorite foods such as french fries, doughnuts, pizza dough, pastries, and other baked goods. Hydrogenated fats undergo a chemical process called hydrogenation that is commonly found in…
