To determine: The structure of partially oxidized fatty acyl group which is formed when oleic acid, 18:1 (Δ9) has undergone three cycles of β oxidation.
Introduction:
The fats or triglycerides contain chemical energy which is released by the hydrolysis or break down of fats into fatty acids and glycerol molecules. β oxidation decomposes the fatty acid into two-carbon molecules that helps in the release of energy.
To determine: The next two steps in the continued oxidation of the intermediate formed.
