fitusýrukeðjum
Fitusýrukeðjum refers to the hydrocarbon chains that form the basis of fatty acids. These chains are typically composed of a series of carbon atoms linked together by single bonds, with hydrogen atoms attached to each carbon atom. The length of these carbon chains can vary significantly, ranging from a few carbons to over twenty. The physical and chemical properties of a fatty acid are largely determined by the length and saturation of its fitusýrukeðjum.
Saturated fatty acids have fitusýrukeðjum where all carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds. This means the chain
The position of the double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids is also important. Monounsaturated fatty acids
