Linolenic

Question: balanced equation for preparation of soap from triacyglycerol where acyl portions derive from linolenic acid? I wanted to know, more like see, the proper equation.

Answer: This reaction is the saponification of carboxylic ester: Molecular formula equation: C57H98O6 + 3NaOH → 3 C18H31O2Na + C3H8O3 Structural equation: CH2(O2CR)CH(O2CR)CH2(O2CR) + 3NaOH → 3 NaO2CR + CH2(OH)CH(OH)CH2(OH), where O2CR = linoleate, -O2C(CH2)7 CH=CCH2CH=CH (CH2)4CH3

Question: What is the difference between flax oil that contains alpha-linolenic acid and fish oil (natural source of O-3?

Answer: Mainly alpha linolenic acid has three unsaturated bonds whereas fish oils contain five unsaturated bonds in the case of EPA and six unsaturated bonds in the case of DHA. Otherwise the first double bond is between carbon THREE and four from the omega end in all these molecule. So they are all omega THREE oils.

Question: what is the balanced reaction equation for the complete hydrogenation of linolenic acid?

Answer: Linoleic acid has two double bonds. Each double bond requires 1 H2 for the hydrogenation C18H32O2 + 2H2 >> C18H36O2

Question: what is the structure of a phospholipid with linolenic and serine?

Answer: 1) The basic structure of phospolipids is very similar to that of the triacylglycerides except that C–3 (sn3)of the glycerol backbone is esterified to phosphoric acid. The building block of the phospholipids is phosphatidic acid which results when the X substitution in the basic structure shown in the Figure below is a hydrogen atom. Substitutions include ethanolamine (phosphatidylethanolamine), choline (phosphatidylcholine, also called lecithins), serine (phosphatidylserine), glycerol (phosphatidylglycerol), myo-inositol (phosphatidylinositol, these compounds can have a variety in the numbers of inositol alcohols that are phosphorylated generating polyphosphatidylinositols), and phosphatidylglycerol (diphosphatidylglycerol more commonly known as cardiolipins). See the Lipid Synthesis page for images of the various phospholipids. 2) Has structures: one includes serine, one includes linosotil. You can combine and/or follow additional links

Question: Which molecular formula best represents linolenic acid, an 18-carbon fatty acid with 3 double bonds C18,O2,H?

Answer: The chemical names for linolenic acid are: 9,12,15-all-cis-octadecatrienoic acid; (9Z,12Z,15Z)-9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid; alpha-linolenic acid; all-cis-9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid; all cis-Delta-9,12,15-octadecatrienoate; cis-9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid; cis,cis,cis-9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid; cis-delta-9,12,15-octadecatrienoic acid; Linolenic acid; (Z,Z,Z)-9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid; and the best chemical formula is C17H28COOH

Question: Flaxseed oil contains alpha-linolenic acid as well as Linoleic acid & Oleic acid, is there Iodine as well ? In Fish Oils there is Eicosapentaenoic acid & docosahexaenoic acid & Iodine from the fish itself.

Answer: Not a sufficient amount, no. By FDA regulations, it would have to be listed on the label if there was even a few percent of the RDA of any nutrients like that, but there's not enough to list. You're correct that Fish Oil has EPA and DHA, but there would be minimal Iodine per dose compared to what the RDA recommends for basic health (which is 150 mcg per day). You'd be more likely to overdose on EPA and DHA before you got anywhere near overdosing on Iodine unless it was from fresh fish (in which case, you'd also be getting a lot of Mercury, PCBs, and other oceanic contaminants). I hope that helps to clear things up!

Question: Fish oils (epa/dha) or plant based omega 3's - Which contain the "mother" omega 3 - Linolenic Acid?

Answer: Oils and foods that contain linoleic acid include safflower oil (78%), poppy seed oil (70%), walnut oil, grass fed cow milk, olive oil, palm oil, sunflower oil, soybean, lard, coconut oil, egg yolks (16%), spirulina, peanut oil, okra, rice bran oil, wheat germ oil, grape seed oil, macadamia oil, pistachio oil, sesame oil. Safflower and sunflower oils are best.

Question: Does chicken fat contains gamma linolenic acid?

Answer: Yes it does, about 3-4 %. see pg's 27- 28 of the reference ref: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/Data/Other/trans_fa.pdf

Question: How do I write these chemistry equations? I need some URGENT homework help! What is the balanced equation for the preparation of soap from triacylglycerol in which the the acyl portions are all derived from linolenic acid and using potassium hydroxide as the base? and Write an equation that shows why a solid forms when a solution of the soap sodium laurate, C11H23COO-Na+, is treated with hydrochloric acid, HCl. Thanks for answering and explaining.

Question: what is aplha linolenic?

Answer: Alpha-linolenic acid, or ALA, is an essential fatty acid, which means that it is essential to human health but cannot be manufactured by the body. For this reason, ALA must be obtained from food. ALA, as well as the fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), belongs to a group of fatty acids called omega-3 fatty acids. EPA and DHA are found primarily in fish while ALA is highly concentrated in certain plant oils such as flaxseed oil and to a lesser extent, canola, soy, perilla, and walnut oils. ALA is also found in wild plants such as purslane. Once ingested, the body converts ALA to EPA and DHA, the two types of omega-3 fatty acids more readily used by the body.

Question: what is sesamin and also conjugated linolenic acid. ? i have heard that it is an excellent way to reduce your weight and lower your cholesterol but no one can explain how it work or how safe it is

Answer: Sesamin oil is marketed as an all-natural and stimulant-free athletic performance enhancing supplement that builds muscle, burns fat, and improves athletic endurance and exercise performance Because sesamin extract use is new, little scientific study to date has substantiated its effectiveness, but existence science suggest that sesamin holds promise as a beneficial, health enhancing ingredient, and that it may help support healthy hormone profile, healthy muscle tone, healthy weight management, and healthy immune system function Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a naturally occurring group of dienoic derivatives of linoleic acid found in the fat of beef and other ruminants. CLA is reported to have effects on both tumor development and body fat in animal models. To further characterize the metabolic effects of CLA, male AKR/J mice were fed a high-fat (45 kcal%) or low-fat (15 kcal%) diet with or without CLA (2.46 mg/kcal; 1.2 and 1.0% by weight in high- and low-fat diets, respectively) for 6 wk. CLA significantly reduced energy intake, growth rate, adipose depot weight, and carcass lipid and protein content independent of diet composition. Overall, the reduction of adipose depot weight ranged from 43 to 88%, with the retroperitoneal depot most sensitive to CLA. CLA significantly increased metabolic rate and decreased the nighttime respiratory quotient. These findings demonstrate that CLA reduces body fat by several mechanisms, including a reduced energy intake, increased metabolic rate, and a shift in the nocturnal fuel mix. Hope this answer your question, Cheers

Question: steric acid is a solid with a mp above rm temp. linolenic acid is a liquid with temp below rp why in terms of ? structure of these shapes

Answer: Stearic acid or octadecanoic acid is a waxy solid, and its chemical formula is C18H36O2. Its name comes from the Greek word stéar (genitive: stéatos), which means tallow. MP 70 oC α-linolenic acid is a carboxylic acid with an 18-carbon chain and three cis double bonds. The first double bond is located at the third carbon from the n end. Thus, α-linolenic acid is a polyunsaturated n−3 (omega-3) fatty acid. It is an isomer of γ-linolenic acid, a polyunsaturated n−6 (omega-6) fatty acid. MP less than 0 oC The double bonds mean the unsaturated fat is more bent for image see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Linolenic-acid-3D-vdW.png This means the molecule is `more compact` and the chains do not entangle with each other so much as the saturated molecule.

Question: What is the most abundant and most widely distributed fatty acid in the nature found? Here is 5 options: A arachidonic acid B. linolenic acid C. linoleic acid D. oleic acid E. stearic acid I guess is steric acid because i see the longest elaboration at the wikipedia site. Can someone help?

Answer: The answer is neither of them. Palmitic acid (16:0) is the most abundant and most widely distributed fatty acid in the nature found because it is the final product of the biosynthesis of fatty acids. Once palmitic acid is formed, it can be elongiated or desaturated.
