|
Answer» What the..... Was that Saturated fatty acids (SFA) contain no double bonds and have general formula R-COOH in which the R- group is a straight-chain hydrocarbon of the form CH3(CH2)n with varying length ranging from short chain length (volatile liquids) to chain lengths of 30 or more carbon atoms (waxy solids), though the most common and important fatty acids, found in many different plant and animal fats, contain between 12 and 22 carbon atoms.They are stable to oxidation as a result of the saturation of their carbon chain.In the human diet the most consumed saturated fatty acids are myristic, palmitic and stearic acids. |
