rue/False Questions Waxes are saponifiable simple lipids and are esters of long-chain fatty acids with long-chain alcohols. Glycerides can be saponified by treating them with hydroxide, which gives the sodium salt of fatty acid and glycerols Unsaturated fatty acids can be reduced to saturated fatty acids by hydrogenating them using Hydrogen gas over Raney Nickel. USDA bans the use of trans fatty acids in the super markets as it causes atherosclerosis of the veins(build-up of plaque)
Essential nutrients
These are the organic compounds present in the food that provide nourishment essential for the development and growth of our body. Nutrients not only provide us with the required energy to carry out various biological processes but are also the building blocks for repair and growth in our bodies.
Vitamins
The vitamins are organic molecules required in low concentration for the proper functioning of the body. They cannot be generated in the organism and are taken into the body through the diet. The lack of proper vitamins results in diverse deficiency disorders. They are thus called essential nutrients. The important vitamins are vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K, and vitamin E.
