Certain omega-3 fatty acids can be found only in animal sources, such as fatty fish. Two of these are eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) [20:5] and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) [22:6], both of which are ω-3 fatty acids. DHA has been shown to be important in healthy brain development, so it has recently been added to infant formulas. Breast milk is rich in DHA as long as the mother maintains a healthy diet that includes fish. Draw skeletal structures of the fatty acids EPA and DHA.
The structural formula of the soap prepared from the beef tallow is CH3(CH2)16COONa. Draw the line-angle structure of the compound. Circle the fat-soluble portion and box the water-
soluble portion of the molecule.
1. Some marine plankton contain triacylglycerols formed from the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) such as: CH3CH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2COOH
a) Draw the skeletal structure of the given PUFA showing the preffered stereogenic arrangement for a naturally-occuring lipid at each double bond.
b) Write the systematic name of the fatty acid.
c) What type of omega-n acid is this fatty acid?
d) Would you expect this fatty acid to be a soild or liquid at room temperature?
