What is Polyunsaturated fat?
'''Polyunsaturated fats''' are fats that are usually found in items like fatty [[fish]], [[Nut (fruit)|nuts]], and [[vegetable oil]]s. Such items are typically found to be [[liquid]] at room [[temperature]]. ==Chemistry== Polyunsaturated [[fat]]s are long-chain [[organic compounds]]. Their [[molecule]]s has more than one double bonds. The structure reduces the strength of the forces between molecules. This causes the items to have a lower melting point. This is why the items are usually liquid at room temperature. ==Types== ===Omega 3 fatty acids=== *[[Alpha linolenic acid]] *[[Docosahexanoic acid]] *[[Eicosapentaenoic acid]] ===Omega 6 fatty acids=== *[[Linoleic acid]] *[[Arachidonic Acid]] *[[Gamma linoleic acid]] *[[Conjugated linoleic acid]] ==Related pages== *[[Monounsaturated fat]] [[Category:Lipids]]
