  2. Medium-chain triglyceride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medium-chain_triglyceride

    Typical example of a medium-chain triglyceride, containing three medium chain fatty acids (caprylic acid in blue and capric acid in red)A medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) is a triglyceride with two or three fatty acids having an aliphatic tail of 6–12 carbon atoms, i.e. a medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA).

  3. Fatty acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid

    Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are fatty acids with aliphatic tails of five or fewer carbons (e.g. butyric acid). [7] Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) are fatty acids with aliphatic tails of 6 to 12 [8] carbons, which can form medium-chain triglycerides. Long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) are fatty acids with aliphatic tails of 13 to 21 carbons. [9]

  4. Triglyceride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triglyceride

    The three fatty acids substituents can be the same, but they are usually different. Many triglycerides are known because many fatty acids are known. The chain lengths of the fatty acid groups vary in naturally occurring triglycerides, Those containing 16, 18, or 20 carbon atoms are defined as long-chain triglycerides, while medium-chain ...

    Short-and medium chain fatty acids are absorbed directly into the blood via intestine capillaries and travel through the portal vein.Long-chain fatty acids, on the other hand, are too large to be directly released into the tiny intestine capillaries.

  6. List of unsaturated fatty acids - Wikipedia

    Cervonic acid (or docosahexaenoic acid) has 22 carbons, is found in fish oil, is a 4,7,10,13,16,19-hexa unsaturated fatty acid. In the human body its generation depends on consumption of omega 3 essential fatty acids (e.g., ALA or EPA), but the conversion process is inefficient. [22]

  9. Caprylic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caprylic_acid

    Caprylic acid (from Latin capra 'goat'), also known under the systematic name octanoic acid or C8 Acid, is a saturated fatty acid, medium-chain fatty acid (MCFA). It has the structural formula H 3 C−(CH 2) 6 −COOH, and is a colorless oily liquid that is minimally soluble in water with a slightly unpleasant rancid-like smell and taste. [1]
