Free fatty acids are created by separating fatty acids from the fat molecule. To find the ration you must add a solvent agent. The lower the ratio is the better the storage and shelf life of the respective oil or fat will be.

Explain the difference between the solubility behaviors of glycerol and triglycerides?
Explain the difference between the solubility behaviors of glycerol,fatty acid and triglycerides
What is a distinguished characteristics of a saturated fatty acid?
Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds between carbon atoms and unsaturated.
What is volatile fatty acid number?
No one fatty acid is volatile.
What are the differences between fatty acid synthesis and beta-oxidation?
Beta Oxidation--> Oxidation, Hydrolysis, Oxidation, Cleavage Fatty Acid Synthesis--> Cyle transferase, Dehydration, Reduction, Reduction
If one fatty acid is more saturated than another fatty acid of equal chain length it has?
It has more hydrogen atoms and fewer double bonds between carbon atoms.
What is the difference between a hydrocarbon and a fatty acid?
The difference between a hydrocarbon and a fatty acid is that a fatty acid is a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic acid head.
What is the Difference between saturated and unsaturated lipid?
The difference is related to which long chain fatty acid is incorporated. If it is a fatty acid that has double bonds, then it is an unsaturated lipid. If it contains fatty acids that have no double bonds, then it is a saturated lipid.
What is the difference between a saturated an a unsaturated fatty acid?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double bond or triple bonds, whereas saturated fatty acids do not.

What is the difference between a saturaded and unsaturaded fatty acid?
The difference between a saturated and unsaturated fatty acid are the number of hydrogen atoms and double carbon bonds in the fatty acid chain. A saturated fatty acid has no carbon double bonds, two hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom along the chain and three for the carbon atom at each end. In an unsaturated fatty acid chain some of the hydrogen atoms are replaced by a double bond between neighboring carbon atoms. Mon-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids differ in the number of double carbon bonds in the chain, and thus the total number of hydrogen atoms.
Explain the difference between saturated and unsaturated lipids?
The difference is related to which long chain fatty acid is incorporated. If it is a fatty acid that has double bonds, then it is an unsaturated lipid. If it contains fatty acids that have no double bonds, then it is a saturated lipid.
What is th difference between a phosophilipid and a lipid?
Phosophilipids contain a phosophate group in place of the fatty acid molecules in a normal lipid.
What is difference between DHA and DNA?
DHA -- Docosahexaenoic acid -- is an omega-3 fatty acid that you get in your food (fish, for example). DNA -- Deoxyribonucleic acid -- is the genetic material that defines all life.
Why is oleic acid not classified as a saturated fatty acid?
because it is a monounsaturated fatty acid... it has one double bond between carbons 9 and 10.
What makes an acid stronger than the other?
The difference is between dissociation constants. A high value has the meaning of strong acid.
Difference between a saturated fatty acid and an unsaturated fatty acid?
Fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. A saturated fatty acid contains the maximum amount of hydrogen atoms. Saturated fatty acids are long-chain carboxylic acids that generally have between 12 and 24 carbon atoms and have no double bonds. They are saturated with hydrogen because saturated fatty acids have only single bonds, each carbon atom within the chain has 2 hydrogen atoms. Unsaturated fatty acids do not contain the maximum amount of hydrogen atoms, therefore two or more carbon atoms are attached with a double bond. Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds between carbon atoms.
Is olive oil an essential fatty acid?
No, it's not a fatty acid or essential fatty acid.
