Topics for Today • What is a trans fat?
Topics for Today • What is a trans fat? What is a fat?
A triple ester! Three Triple H+ Fatty Acids + Alcohol Triglyceride + Water Fats Oils
Figure 11.8 (p. 497) Figure 11.8 (p. 497)
Figure 11.8 (p. 497) Figure 11.8 (p. 497)
Butter Very high level of saturation! 29% Palmitic Acid 9% Stearic Acid 31% Other Saturated About 69% saturated fat!
In general… • Saturated fats = Solid (Crisco, lard) WHY?
In general… • Saturated fats = Solid (Crisco, lard) • Animals usually have more saturated fatty acids than plants • Unsaturated fats = liquids
Whale blubber 10-20% palmitic acid 2-5% stearic acid 5-10% other fatty acids ~ 25% saturated fatty acids Medium level of saturation
What do you do with a dead 8 ton, 45 foot whale that beached itself? In 1970…
Video! • http://whale.wheelock.edu/movies “The infamous exploding whale.”
“’It went just exactly right,’ Thornton said. Except the blast funneled a hole in the sand under the whale.” “Where the whale had been, there was a large hole”
A small boy ran down the beach ahead of his father. “Look,” the boy cried. “A piece of the whale.”
After the large pieces had fallen, it began to rain small particles of foul-smelling blubber. Many in the crowd ran for their cars and drove away. But they wouldn’t be rid of the nauseating odor until they bathed and washed their clothes and cars. Where did the odor come from?
1) Amines! Putrescine Cadaverine Products from the breakdown of amino acids
2) Rancid fats! Oxidation of fatty acid chains…
Oxygen, O2 Reacts with fatty acids WHY? Mainly the unsaturated ones A colorless, odorless, tasteless gas
Fats going rancid Double Bond = Reactive!
Creates two smaller carboxylic acids!! Oxygen and ROS will help “split” the fatty acid at the double bond
Carboxylic Acids!! • Propanoic Acid (Propionic Acid) • CH3CH2COOH O CH3 CH2 C OH Limburger cheese smell…
Butanoic Acid (Butyric Acid) Rancid Butter O CH3 CH2 CH2 C OH
Butyric Acid Locker Room Smell O CH3 CH2 CH2 C OH
Unsaturated fats go rancid quicker than saturated. Reactive!!
How do we remove the double bond? The same goes for the products in our kitchen!
Hydrogenation – The process of adding hydrogen to a double bond. Creates a saturated molecule from an unsaturated one!
Hydrogenation – The process of adding hydrogen to a double bond. Creates a saturated molecule from an unsaturated one!
Review! Same as with crude oil!
Hydrogenation of ethylene H H H H catalyst H2 + C = C C C H H H H H H Ethene Ethane
Hydrogenation of propylene H H H CH3 H catalyst H2 + C C = C C C H H H H H H H Propene Propane
Hydrogenation of a fatty acid Complete hydrogenation! O C OH catalyst H2 + C = C H H H H O C C C OH H H
(Oleic Acid) catalyst H2 + (Stearic Acid)
Hydrogenation H2 + unsaturated fatty acid saturated fatty acid (usually oil) (usually fat)
Butanoic Acid (Butyric Acid) 1) Longer shelf-life! O CH3 CH2 CH2 C OH
Margarine contains “partially hydrogenated soybean oil.” 2) More spreadable!
NOT Hydrogenated Hydrogenated
Peanut Oil! NOT Hydrogenated Hydrogenated
NOT Hydrogenated Hydrogenated More unsaturated fat (healthier)
Hydrogenation Why make the food less healthy? H2 + unsaturated fatty acid saturated fatty acid (usually oil) “Good” Fats (usually fat) “Bad” Fats
