Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are fatty acids that contain more than one double bond in their backbone. This class includes many important compounds, such as essential fatty acids and those that give drying oils their characteristic property.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids can be classified in various groups by their chemical structure:
Contents
|
These fatty acids have 2 or more cis double bonds that are separated from each other by a single methylene bridge (-CH2- unit). This form is also sometimes called a divinylmethane pattern.[1]
| −C−C=C−C−C=C− |
The essential fatty acids are all omega-3 and -6 methylene-interrupted fatty acids. See more at Essential fatty acids—Nomenclature
