Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The fat or oil that contains the highest number of grams per tablespoon of polyunsaturated fat has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Fats are triglycerides made up of one glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecules. They are also considered as the hydrophobic substances which are soluble in the organic solvents and insoluble in water.
Saturated fats are the one which contain saturated fatty acids in it and it cannot be hydrogenated.
Unsaturated fats are the one which contain unsaturated fatty acids in it and it can be hydrogenated further. Unsaturated fats can be classified into monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats according to the type of fatty acid present in it.
Monounsaturated fats have one unsaturation fatty acid in it whereas polyunsaturated fat possess more than two double bonds in it.
(b)
Interpretation:
The fat or oil that contains the highest number of grams per tablespoon of total unsaturated fat has to be given.
Concept introduction:
Fats are triglycerides made up of one glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecules. They are also considered as the hydrophobic substances which are soluble in the organic solvents and insoluble in water.
Saturated fats are the one which contain saturated fatty acids in it and it cannot be hydrogenated.
Unsaturated fats are the one which contain unsaturated fatty acids in it and it can be hydrogenated further. Unsaturated fats can be classified into monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats according to the type of fatty acid present in it.
Monounsaturated fats have one unsaturation fatty acid in it whereas polyunsaturated fat possess more than two double bonds in it.
(c)
Interpretation:
The fat or oil that contains the highest number of grams per tablespoon of monounsaturated fat has to be given.
