Introduction Fatty acids are long-carbon-chain molecules containing the -COOH, i.e., carboxylic acid group. The carbon chain length of fatty acids generally varies from four to even more than 30 carbon atoms. The natural fatty acids present in vegetable oils are mostly straight chain fatty acids. Animal fats, especially fish oils, and select plant seeds do
