what is the difference between fats and oils

fats are solid at room temperature, oils are liquid at room temperature

what does a triglyceride consist of

three fatty acids and a three carbon, glycerol backbone

saturated fat

a fatty acid that has no carbons joined together, generally solid at room temperature

6 foods high in saturated fats

coconut oil, palm kernel oil, butter, cream, whole milk

6 foods high in saturated fats

coconut oil, palm kernel oil, butter, cream, whole milk

monosaccharide fat

a fatty acid that has two or more carbons in the chain bound to each other with one double bond, normally liquid at room temperature

6 foods high in saturated fats

coconut oil, palm kernel oil, butter, cream, whole milk

monounsaturated fat

a fatty acid that has two or more carbons in the chain bound to each other with one double bond, normally liquid at room temperature

3 foods high in monounsaturated fats

olive oil, canola oil, cashew nuts

polyunsaturated fat

a fatty acid that has more than one double bond in the chain, usually liquid at room temp

polyunsaturated fat

a fatty acid that has more than one double bond in the chain, usually liquid at room temp

4 foods high in polyunsaturated fats

cottonseed oil, canola, oil corn oil, safflower oil

what is a trans fatty acid

the hydrogen atoms are attached diagonally on opposite sides of the carbon double bond

how do the majority of trans fatty acids get into our foods

by manipulating the fatty acids during food processing

hydrogenation

the process of adding hydrogen into unsaturated fatty acids, making them more saturated and more solid at room temperature

fatty acids that have a double bond six carbons from the omega end

hydrogenation

the process of adding hydrogen into unsaturated fatty acids, making them more saturated and more solid at room temperature

omega 6 fatty acid

fatty acids that have a double bond six carbons from the omega end

name a common omega 6 fatty acid

linoleic acid

hydrogenation

the process of adding hydrogen into unsaturated fatty acids, making them more saturated and more solid at room temperature

omega 6 fatty acid

fatty acids that have a double bond six carbons from the omega end

name a common omega 6 fatty acid

the process of adding hydrogen into unsaturated fatty acids, making them more saturated and more solid at room temperature

omega 6 fatty acid

fatty acids that have a double bond six carbons from the omega end

name a common omega 6 fatty acid

linoleic acid

what foods are high in omega 6 fatty acid

sunflower oil, safflower oil, corn oil peanut oil

omega 3 fatty acid

fatty acid with a double bind three carbons from the omega end

fatty acid with a double bind three carbons from the omega end

name a common omega 3 fatty acid

alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)

what foods are high in omega 3 fatty acid

soy beans, flaxseed oil, soybean oil, walnuts, walnut oil

sterols

a type of lipid found in foods and the body that has a ring structure

sterols

a type of lipid found in foods and the body that has a ring structure

most common sterol in our diet

cholesterol

where is dietary cholesterol commonly found

in the fatty part of an animal product



ex) butter, egg yolks, whole milk

why don't we need to consume cholesterol

our body constantly synthesizes it

4 reasons why we need cholesterol

nerve cell transmission


cell membrane structure


protects internal organs


keeps you warm

Ways we use the fat we consume

nerve cell transmission


cell membrane structure


protects internal organs


keeps you warm

Ways we use the fat we consume

nerve cell transmission


cell membrane structure


protects internal organs


keeps you warm

3 reasons we need cholesterol

sex hormones


cell membrane


production of bile

Ways we use the fat we consume

nerve cell transmission


cell membrane structure


protects internal organs


keeps you warm


helps maintain cell function


enables the transport of fat-soluble vitamins

3 reasons we need cholesterol

sex hormones


cell membrane


production of bile

where does fat absorption take place in the body

small intestine

role of the liver and gallbladder

the liver produces bile that is stored in the gallbladder, and the gallbladder contracts and releases bile into the small intestine
