Nutritional Tips

Fatty acids have different structures depending on the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms. When hydrogen atoms are missing, C atoms form double bonds.

Saturated FAs (SFA): no double bonds
Monounsaturated FAs (MUFA):1 double bond (2 missing hydrogen atom)
Polyunsaturated FAs (PUFA): 2 or more double bonds (4 or more missing hydrogen atom)

The chain length can be following;
1. Short chain: less than 8 carbons
2. Medium chain: 8-12 carbons
3. Long chain: more than 14 carbons, very long chain: more than 22 carbons

Most (but not all) are even numbers. Fatty acids with longer chains and more saturation (hydrogenation) mean a higher melting point (MP). Therefore, more likely to be solid at room temperature (e.g. butter) while sunflower oil is liquid.
