Crotonic acid has 4 carbons, is included in croton oil, and is a trans-2-mono-unsaturated fatty acid.C 3 H 5 CO 2 H, IUPAC organization name (E)-but-2-enoic acid, trans-but-2-enoic acid, numerical representation 4:1, n-1, molecular weight 86.09, melting point 72–74 °C, boiling point 180–181 °C, specific gravity 1.027.
Examples of unsaturated fatty acids are palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, myristoleic acid, linoleic acid, and arachidonic acid. Foods containing unsaturated fats include avocado, nuts, olive oils, and vegetable oils such as canola. Meat products contain both saturated and unsaturated fats.

Avocados are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, with a serving (1/3 of a medium avocado) providing 5 grams of monos. Studies show that individuals who consume avocados may reduce the risk of ...
Protein, fiber and unsaturated fat mean that almonds will keep you full for a while — especially because a 1-ounce serving is 23 whole almonds, a greater amount than other types of nuts.
In a 1/2-cup serving, you get 10 grams of fat and only 6 grams of saturated fat, so it's considered a low-fat cheese. RELATED: The 4 Healthiest Frozen Mac&Cheeses—and 6 To Avoid 9.
When circulating in the plasma (plasma fatty acids), not in their ester, fatty acids are known as non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs) or free fatty acids (FFAs). FFAs are always bound to a transport protein, such as albumin. [15] FFAs also form from triglyceride food oils and fats by hydrolysis, contributing to the characteristic rancid odor. [16]
The evening primrose flower (O. biennis) produces an oil containing a high content of γ-linolenic acid, a type of omega−6 fatty acid.Omega−6 fatty acids (also referred to as ω−6 fatty acids or n−6 fatty acids) are a family of polyunsaturated fatty acids that have in common a final carbon-carbon double bond in the n−6 position, that is, the sixth bond, counting from the methyl end.
