Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Trans polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) of C18, C20, and C22 chain lengths having up to six ethylenic bonds are part of the human diet. They are formed during heat treatments such as deodorization of vegetable or fish oils [1] or during frying operations [2].
Detailed explanation-2: -Polyunsaturated fatty acids are hydrocarbon chains containing two or more double bonds. The characterisation of PUFAs as either an n-3 PUFA or n-6 PUFA refers to the position of the first double bond relative to the methyl end of the fatty acid. In nature, double bonds are usually in the cis (bent) format.
