Question

explain how TRANS FATTY ACIDS are curved during production.

Answer 1

Trans-fatty acids occur naturally in animal fat as a result of anaerobic bacterial fermentation in the rumen. These trans-fatty acids are absorbed from the gut and ultimately distributed throughout the fat depots of the animal. Hence, animal fats, such as meat and dairy fats, contribute to the trans-fatty acid content of the diet. Of note, currently dietary guidelines to reduce cardiovascular disease risk recommend limiting intake of animal fat due to the relatively high concentration of saturated fat. When these guidelines are adhered to, so too is trans-fatty acid intake from this source limited.

Answer 2

Answer:

The cis double bond causes a bend or a “kink” that prevents the fatty acids from packing tightly, keeping them liquid at room temperature . Fatty AcidsSaturated fatty acids have hydrocarbon chains connected by single bonds only. Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds.
