WHAT DOES POLYUNSATURATED MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Polyunsaturated fat

Polyunsaturated fats are triglycerides in which the hydrocarbon tails constitutes polyunsaturated fatty acids . Polyunsaturated fat can be found mostly in nuts, seeds, fish, algae, leafy greens, and krill. "Unsaturated" refers to the fact that the molecules contain less than the maximum amount of hydrogen. These materials exist as cis or trans isomers depending on the geometry of the double bond. Saturated fats have hydrocarbon chains which can be most readily aligned. The hydrocarbon chains in trans fats align more readily than those in cis fats, but less well than those in saturated fats. This means that, in general, the melting points of fats increase from cis to trans unsaturated and then to saturated. See the section on chemical structure of fats for more information. Chemical structure of the polyunsaturated fat linoleic acid. 3D representation of linoleic acid in a bent conformation. The position of the carbon-carbon double bonds in carboxylic acid chains in fats is designated by Greek letters. The carbon atom closest to the carboxyl group is the alpha carbon, the next carbon is the beta carbon and so on.
