Question
Chapter 23, Problem 23.79CP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Whether the triacylglycerol given in problem 23.78 have a higher or lower melting temperature than the triacylglycerol made from one molecule each of linolenic, myristic and stearic acid has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Melting points of fatty acids:
The melting point of fatty acids mainly depends on points,
- 1. Degree of unsaturation is high then the fatty acids will have lower melting point.
- 2. Longer the saturated carbon chain, higher the melting point in the fatty acid.
