Interpretation:
Fatty acids are carbon chains with a methyl group at one end and carboxyl group at the other end.
In the fatty acid middle portion may be saturated or unsaturated.
Monounsaturated fatty acids have one carbon positions. This monounsaturated fatty acid has two form: cis and trans. Trans isomers is produced during industrial processing (hydrogenation) of unsaturated oils Cis and Trans form of monounsaturated fatty acid show different physical and chemical property.
Concept introduction:
The presence of double bond causes restriction in the mobility of acyl chain. The cis configuration gives a knick in the molecule in the molecules. The cis fatty acid is less stable than trans fatty acid. The cis fatty acid has lower meeting point than the Trans.
