unsaturated fatty acid
Thesaurus| Noun | 1. | unsaturated fatty acid - a fatty acid whose carbon chain can absorb additional hydrogen atomsfatty acid - any of a class of aliphatic monocarboxylic acids that form part of a lipid molecule and can be derived from fat by hydrolysis; fatty acids are simple molecules built around a series of carbon atoms linked together in a chain of 12 to 22 carbon atomsmonounsaturated fatty acid - an unsaturated fatty acid whose carbon chain has one double or triple valence bond per molecule; found chiefly in olive oil and chicken and almondspolyunsaturated fatty acid - an unsaturated fatty acid whose carbon chain has more than one double or triple valence bond per molecule; found chiefly in fish and corn and soybean oil and safflower oilricinoleic acid - an oily fatty acid found in castor oil and used in soapelaeostearic acid, eleostearic acid - a crystalline unsaturated fatty acid |

un·sat·ur·at·ed fat·ty ac·ida fatty acid, the carbon chain of which possesses one or more double or triple bonds (for example, oleic acid, with one double bond in the molecule, and linoleic acid, with two); called unsaturated because it is capable of absorbing additional hydrogen.unsaturated fat An alkyl-chain fatty acid with one or more double (ethylenic) bonds between carbons (called unsaturated as the chain is capable of absorbing more hydrogen). Unsaturated fats (UFs) have lower melting points, and most are liquid at room temperature. UFs can be monounsaturated (i.e., have one double bond, such as oleic acid), which are widely distributed in nature, or polyunsaturated (i.e., has two or more double bonds, such as linolenic acid), which are found in safflower and corn oils.un·sat·ur·at·ed fat·ty ac·id (ŭn-sach'ŭr-āt-ĕd fat'ē as'id) A fatty acid, the carbon chain of which possesses one or more double or triple bonds (e.g., oleic acid, with one double bond in the molecule, and linoleic acid, with two); called unsaturated because it is capable of absorbing additional hydrogen. unsaturated fatty acid A fatty acid with one double bond between carbons.un·sat·ur·at·ed fat·ty ac·id (ŭn-sach'ŭr-āt-ĕd fat'ē as'id) A fatty acid, the carbon chain of which possesses one or more double or triple bonds.
