Trans fatty acids increase the shelf-life of processed foods. Trans fatty acids were saturated fatty acids prior to hydrogenation. A diet that is rich in trans fatty acids increases the risk of heart disease, and therefore trans fatty acids in foods must be labeled. Trans fatty acids are a byproduct of hydrogenating fats.arrow_forwardChoose the incorrect statement about fatty acids out of the following: The membrane lipids contain mostly unsaturated fatty acids The melting point of fatty acids decreases with increasing degree of unsaturation Naturally ocurring unsaturated long chain fatty acids are nearly all trans Lipids in tissues that are subject to cooling are more unsaturatedarrow_forward
