Concept explainers
Some fish oils contain triacylglycerols formed from the poly unsaturated fatty acid, 7,10,13,16,19-docosapentaenoic acid.
- Draw a skeletal structure showing the cis arrangement at each double bond.
- Label the hydrophobic and hydrophilic portions of the fatty acid.
- How does the melting point of this fatty acid compare to its all trans isomer?
- Would you expect this fatty acid to be a solid or a liquid at room temperature?
- What type of omega-n acid is this fatty acid?
