Chapter 3, Problem 18PS

A food manufacturer is advertising a new cake mix as fat-free. Scientists at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are testing the product to see if it truly lacks fat. Hydrolysis of the cake mix yields glucose, fructose, glycerol, a number of amino acids, and several kinds of molecules with long chains. Further analysis shows that most of the chains have a carboxyl group at one end. What would you tell the food manufacturer if you were a spokesperson for the FDA?
