The
Concept Introduction:
Fatty acid is an important component of lipid that consists of a carboxyl group
Fatty acid consists of hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts. The nonpolar part of the chain that consists of carbon and hydrogen atoms and is water repellant called hydrophobic part and the polar part that is attracted to water is called hydrophilic part. The hydrophobic part is larger than that of hydrophilic part.
Fatty acids with unsaturation are classified as
