A fatty acid is a chain of carbon atoms flanked by hydrogen atoms.

A fatty acid is a ____ of carbon atoms flanked by _____ atoms.

hydrogenation

Chemically changing unsaturated fatty acids into saturated fatty acids by adding hydrogen to double bonds. It changes a liquid oil into a more solid fat. Sometimes forms trans fatty acids

LDL

Cholesterol. Carries cholesterol made by the liver and from other sources to cells

Describe the roles of fat in foods.

Each carbon atom can form a maximum of four chemical bonds. In fatty acids, the carbon atoms are bonded to other carbon atoms, hydrogen atoms, or oxygen atoms.

Each carbon atom can form a maximum of _____ chemical bonds. In fatty acids, the carbon atoms are bonded to other ______ atoms, ______ atoms, or ______ atoms.

omega-3 fatty acids

Reducing fat content may alter the flavor and texture of foods, so food manufacturers may add sugar and salt to compensate.

Explain why "fat-free" is not necessarily the same as "healthy."

Rancidity

Exposure to light, heat, and oxygen causes fatty acids to decompose, resulting in unpleasant tastes and odors. It limits the shelf-life of foods that contain unsaturated fats.

Fat-free: <0.5 g of fat per serving Low-fat: ≤3 g of fat per serving Reduced-fat: at least 25% less fat than reference food

Fat-free: _____ of fat per serving Low-fat: _____ of fat per serving Reduced-fat: at least ____ less fat than reference food

For adults, fat should make up 20% to 35% of total kcal. DGAs recommend limiting saturated fat intake to 10% of total kcal. To reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, AHA recommends limiting saturated fat intake to 5% to 6% of total kcal.

For adults, fat should make up ___% to ___% of total kcal. DGAs recommend limiting saturated fat intake to ____% of total kcal. To reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, AHA recommends limiting saturated fat intake to __% to ___% of total kcal.

Because it removes lipids from the blood, HDL is called the "good" cholesterol.

High-density lipoproteins remove cholesterol from the blood vessels and return it to the liver, where it can be recycled into other lipoproteins or made into bile. Because it removes lipids from the blood, ______ is called the "good" cholesterol.

Cholesterol (produced by animals) Phytosterols (produced by plants)

Identify examples of sterols.

In cis unsaturated fatty acids, the ends of the carbon chain lie on the same side of the double bond. In nature, most unsaturated fatty acids exist in the cis form.

In trans fatty acids, the ends of the carbon chain lie on different sides of the double bond.

In _______ fatty acids, the ends of the carbon chain lie on different sides of the double bond.

In nutrition, a nutrient is essential if it cannot be made in the body; it must be consumed in the diet

In nutrition, a nutrient is _______ if it cannot be made in the body; it must be consumed in the diet

Organ meats Egg yolks Shellfish

List food sources of cholesterol. (3)

Eggs Peanuts Wheat germ Organ meats Lecithin is often added to foods (e.g., salad dressing) as an emulsifier

List food sources of phospholipids. (5)

Low-density lipoproteins deliver cholesterol to the tissues. LDLs contribute to the formation of plaque in the blood vessels, so LDL is called the "bad" cholesterol

Low-density lipoproteins deliver cholesterol to the tissues. _____ contribute to the formation of plaque in the blood vessels, so ______ is called the "bad" cholesterol

The individual fatty acids in the triglyceride may be saturated or unsaturated and may vary in length.

The individual fatty acids in the __________ may be saturated or unsaturated and may vary in length.

Lecithin

One example of phospholipids, the most common phospholipid found in the diet and in the body

HDL
