Summary Introduction
Introduction: Fatty acids are long chains of carbon atoms that are bound to hydrogen with a carboxyl or acid group at one end of the chain. The saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between carbon, and they are known to be saturated with hydrogen. On the contrary, the unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds between carbons. For each double bond, the molecule has two fewer hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon chain.
