Document Summary
Carboxylic acids with linear (unbranched) carbon chain -- fatty acids are naturally occurring monocarboxylic acids o. Polyunsaturated: 2 or more c=c bonds present, up to 6 double bonds. Saturated fatty acids present in fatty acids o. Fatty acid with a carbon chain in which all c-c bonds are single bonds: numbering starts from the end of the -cooh group o o. Structural notation: it indicates the number of c atoms. Lauric acid has 12 c atoms and no double bonds so it is (12:0) Unsaturated fatty acids: a monosaturated fatty acid is a fatty acid with a carbon chain in which one c=c bond is present, different ways of depicting the structure. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufas: a polyunsaturated fatty acid is a fatty acid with a carbon chain in which two or more. C=c bonds are present: up to six double bonds are found in biochemically important pufas o.
