unsaturated fatty
acids
Fatty Acids
Contains a long carbon chain
attached to a carboxylic
acid on C1
Typically contain and even
number of carbon atoms –
between 10 and 20
Fatty Acids
They are:
• Aliphatic molecules – they
are both hydrophobic and
hydrophilic
• But…overall they are
hydrophobic
Hydrophobic Hydrophilic
Cell Membrane
Fatty Acids to know…
Lauric Acid (C12)
Myristic Acid (C14)
Palmitic Acid (C16)
Stearic Acid (C18)
Types of Fatty Acids
Saturated Fatty Acids:
• Only single bonds between
the carbon atoms
Monounsaturated Fatty Acids:
• Have one double bond in the
carbon chain
Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids:
• Have two or more double bonds
Unsaturated Fatty Acids
trans double bonds
cis double bonds
Shapes of Unsaturated
Fatty Acids
Fatty Acids:
Physical Properties
Saturated and trans Fatty Acids:
• High melting points (solids)
• Perfect alignment – high Van
de Waals intermolecular
attractions
• Trans fatty acids do not
naturally exist – they are
a man made product and
are the most stable fatty
acids
Fatty Acids:
Physical Properties
Unsaturated cis Fatty Acids:
• Lower melting point
(liquid at room temp)
• Do not have perfect
alignment due to kinks in
chain – low Van de Waals
• Less stable – double
bonds can break
Both are:
C18H36O2
Saturated
MP of 69°
Unsaturated
MP of 13°
Prostaglandins
They are:
• Small polyunsaturated Fatty
Acids that act like hormones
mediating a range of
symptoms from inflammation
to blood pressure
• Synthesized from
Arachidonic Acid (AA)
Prostaglandins
• Most have a hydroxyl group
on C11 and C15 and a trans
double bond at C13
• PGE - those with a ketone on C9
• PGF - those with a hydroxyl group on C9
Inflammation is a…
• Natural response to infection
and injury
• Disease like rheumatoid arthritis
(inflammation of the joints)
Why do we
care?
Non Steroidal AntiInflammatory Drugs
(NSAIDs)
Drug class that includes:
• Aspirin
• Ibuprofen
• Naproxen (Alveve)
• Ketoprofen (actron)

Waxes, Fats and Oils
SWBAT:
1. Write structural
formula of wax, fat or
oil
2. ID the reaction of a
fatty acid and an
Waxes
• Found in many plants and
animals (leaves, stems, skin,
fur and feathers)
• Is an ester of a saturated Fatty
Acid and a long-chain alcohol
(14-30 carbon atoms)
Fats and Oils:
Triacylglycerols
• The body stores Fatty Acids as
fats and oils
• Also called tryglycerides
• Produced by
esterification
of glycerol
and Fatty Acid
groups
Fats and Oils:
Triacylglycerols
Most fats and oils are mixed
triacylglycerolds with two or
three different Fatty Acids
from stearic acid
from palmitic acid
from myristic acid
can be saturated or unsaturated
Writing Structures for
Triacylglycerol
• Each Fatty Acid is attached by
an ester bond to one of the
hydroxyl groups in glycerol
Alcohol Part:
• In triglycerides
always glycerol
Carboxylic Acid Part:
• Three Fatty Acids
Fats and Oils:
Physical Properties
• A fat is a solid at room
temperature (fats in
meat, butter, cheese)
• There are exceptions
• Typically from an
animal source
• Oil is usually liquid at
room temperature (oils –
olive, peanut, sunflower)
• Typically from a plant
source
Fats and Oils:
Physical Properties
• Saturated Fatty Acids
have higher melting
points because they pack
together tightly
• Animal fats usually
contain more
saturated Fatty
Acids than
vegetable oils
Melting Points

Chem Props of Triacylglycerols
SWBAT:
Draw the structure of the
product from a reaction
of triacylglycerol with
hydrogen, or an acid or
base
Hydrogenation
• Hydrogenation of unsaturated
fats converts carbon-carbon
double bonds to single bonds
• Hydrogen gas is heated
through oil with a nickel catalyst
• Partial hydrogenation
changes oil to a soft,
semisolid fat (crisco)
H2
Why?
• Chemical process patented
in the 1940’s
• used to convert oil surpluses
from soybean farming
• into spreadable fats
(margarines) to alleviate butter
shortage
Problem…
Incomplete hydrogenation leads
to the formation of transdouble bonds→ Trans Fats

Trans Fats raise LDL (bad cholesterol ) levels in
the body
Consumption of Trans Fats is correlated with a rise
in CAD during 1960-2000
FDA prohibits use of Trans Fats & requires labeling
Hydrolysis
• Breaking the ester bond –
yielding fatty acid & glycerol
• First step in the digesting of
triglycerides in the body
• Carried out by the enzyme lipase
H+
lipase
• Glycerol is
soluble in
water
• Fatty
Acids are
not
Saponification (sapon = soap)
• Reacting triglycerides with a
strong base
• Yields glycerol and Fatty Acid
Salts (soap)
Glycerol tritearate + 3 NaOH
glycerol + 3 sodium stearate
What is Soap
• Soaps are aliphaic molecules
that have a polar part (facing
water molecules) and a nonpolar part (facing greasy dirt)
• Ancient soap making – Animal fats are
heated with a strong base (lye from burnt
limestone)
• Fatty acid salts – Sodium paltmitate:
Na+ -OOC-(CH2)14-CH3
• Soap Making Video
Food Labels
Food Labels
Olestra
• Fatty Acids from cottonseed
or soybean oils
• Composed of 6 to 8 longchain Fatty Acids attached to
sucrose rather than glycerol
• We can’t digest it
so “Fake Fat” goes
straight through
our system
• GI problems
