23 Αυγ 2021 · Stearic acid, a saturated fatty acid, by contrast has a straight hydrocarbon tail. Figures 2.190-2.194 show the most common saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Fatty acids with unsaturated tails have a lower melting temperature than those with saturated tails of the same length.
The saturated fatty acid named stearic acid, by contrast, has a straight hydrocarbon tail. Figures 2.190-2.194 show the most common saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.

31 Ιαν 2024 · Fatty Acids. Fatty acids are lipids themselves, and they are also components of triglycerides and phospholipids. Like carbohydrates, fatty acids are made up of carbon (\(\ce{C}\)), hydrogen (\(\ce{H}\)), and oxygen (\(\ce{O}\)). On one end of a fatty acid is a methyl group (\(\ce{CH3}\)) that is known as the methyl or omega end.
Among the most widely distributed fatty acids are the 16- and 18-carbon fatty acids, otherwise known as palmitic acid and stearic acid, respectively. Both palmitic and stearic acids occur in the lipids of the majority of organisms. In animals palmitic acid makes up as much as 30 percent of body fat.
