Fatty Acids
The chemistry of fats and fatty acids.
A fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long unbranched aliphatic chain, which is either saturated or unsaturated; fats are triesters of glycerol and fatty acids.
Fatty acids are aliphatic monocarboxylic acids with a mostly unbranched carbon chain. The term "fatty acids" is based on the recognition that natural fats and oils consist of the esters of long-chain carboxylic acids with glycerin. From this point of view, fatty acids are also counted as lipids. Subsequently, all other alkyl carboxylic acids and their unsaturated representatives were also assigned to the fatty acids.
In the following directory you will find online information on fats and fatty acids.

Lipids: Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Health
For the Sixth Edition of this highly regarded textbook devoted to lipids, the title has been modified from Lipid Biochemistry to Lipids to acknowledge the coming together of biological and medical sciences, the increasingly blurred boundaries between them and the growing importance of lipids in diverse aspects of science and technology. The principal aims of this new edition - to inform students and researchers about lipids, to assist teachers and encourage further research - have not changed since previous editions.
