Natural Occuring Fats ??

[chuinhen]

i have come across the word NATURAL OCCURING FATS !!!!i

 

 

i have some references state that

the fatty acid in the NATURAL OCCURING FATS must be a straight chain fatty acid ????

 

 

Is it true ???

They occur naturally but they are fairly rare.

sorry .. u havent answer my question

Oh sorry, when I said 'they' I meant branched chain fatty acids. There are a small number of species of branched chain fatty acids that occur naturally, and in most organisms they are in low concentrations. I think in sponges, and maybe some nuts, they are at resonably high concentrations.
