Chapter 17, Problem 17.61QP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The physical state of a triglyceride with three saturated fatty acid tails structure should be predicted and reason has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

Fatty acids are aliphatic mono-carboxylic acids that are mostly obtained from the hydrolysis of natural fats and oils.

General formula R(CH2)nCOOH and mostly have straight chain (a few exceptions have branched and heterocyclic chains). In this formula “n” is mostly an even number of carbon atoms like (2-34) with few exceptions that have an odd number.

Saturated fatty acid: They have no double bonds in between the long hydrocarbon chain, so they are straight and can be   packed together.

Example: Myristate, Palmitate, Laurate, etc.,

Unsaturated fatty acid: They have at least one double bond in between the long hydrocarbon chain.

These double bonds cause the fatty acid chain to “kink” which results in more fluidity.
