Double bonds fatty acids

The amount of oil in a sample is determined by Scott oil analysis (AOAC, 1990e). This is a bromination reaction previously used to determine the number of fatty acid double bonds. This titration method quantifies the recoverable oil in fruits and fruit products based on the release of Br2 and the formation of limonene tetrabromide (Braddock, 1999). Figure Gl.5.3 illustrates the chemical reaction for the bromination of limonene. Other monoterpenes (a-pinene and citral) also react however, the method is accurate to within 10 ppm limonene (Scott and Valdhuis, 1966). For this procedure, limonene is co-distilled with isopropanol and titrated with a potassium bromide/bromate solution.

Most transgenic oilseeds with altered fatty acid composition remain research subjects, with commercial introduction limited to two crops, neither of which have yet achieved success in the marketplace. The expected benefits from transgenic crops with altered fatty acid composition include improved stability properties enhanced nutritive value expanded use of renewable resources to replace petroleum derived materials replacement of chemical processes, such as epoxidation of fatty acid double bonds and gradual expansion of agriculture as a chemical industry, a concept long ago known as chemurgy. It is possible to predict some issues that...

Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with long hydrocarbon chains. The fatty acids most frequently found in nature are shown in Table 26.1. Because they are synthesized from acetate, a compound with two carbon atoms, most naturally occurring fatty acids contain an even number of carbon atoms and are unbranched. The mechanism for the biosynthesis of fatty acids is discussed in Section 19.21. Fatty acids can be saturated with hydrogen (and therefore have no carbon-carbon double bonds) or unsaturated (have carbon-carbon double bonds). Fatty acids with more than one double bond are called polyunsaturated fatty acids. Double bonds in naturally occurring unsaturated fatty acids are never conjugated—they are always separated by one methylene group.

Autoxidation of CLA does not proceed without initiation. Even when initiation occurs, we rarely have a complete understanding of the active oxygen species involved. Assigning mechanisms on the basis of oxidation products alone is heuristic. It has been suggested that the dioxetane formation is initiated by the ene reaction (1-3,5). In the oxidation of methylene-interrupted fatty acid double bonds, the primary products are almost exclusively LOOM that arose by the ene mechanism. In fatty acids such as CLA, the ene mechanism requires, at least in part, separating double bonds from conjugation. It is therefore not surprising that prod-...

The ultraviolet (UV) spectrum of a compound is generally measured over the range 220 to 400 nm. It is nowadays used principally to detect or to confirm the presence of fatty acids containing conjugated double bond systems in natural oils, or to observe chemical or enzymatic isomerization of fatty acid double bonds in which conjugated systems are formed. With such acids, series of broad bands of increasing intensity the greater the number of double...
