Unsaturated fatty acids - at least one trans double bond Partial hydrogenationof polyunsaturated oils -isomerization and migration of double bonds - distribution of cis and trans double bonds (margarines, shortenings, salad & cooking oils) Partial hydrogenationtfa. Full hydrogenation SFA Major tfa -elaidic acid (t9-18:1) Dairy and meats have t9-16:1 and t11-18:1 (vaccenic acid) what are the effects of fatty acid classes on lipoprotein cholesterol? Page 4
