Composition Of Fats Includes Saturated Animal Fats

Composition of fats includes saturated animal fats, solid high molecular weight with lower

molecular weight and consistency - with a liquid consistency. Saturated fatty acids adversely

affect fat metabolism and increased cholesterol.

Unsaturated fats - contain edible fats, such as oleic acid is present in almost all kinds of fats

(animal and plant), and contributes to the stabilization of cholesterol and fat metabolism.

Polyunsaturated (PUFA) fats - are important elements in the formation of cell membranes,

connective tissues. With insufficient PUFA:

• Processes develop atherosclerotic nature;

• Reduced resistance to adverse factors, both external and internal;

• Reduced reproductive function;

• There are problems with blood vessels.

The following types of fats: animal, vegetable and marine fish. Substances that make up fats:

• Phospholipids - bioactive substances are involved in the flow of body fat; synthesize

their kidneys and liver;

• Lecithin - promotes the breakdown and removal of cholesterol from the body;

• Sterols - divided into zoosterols (main zoosterols -) cholesterol and phytosterols;

• Vitamins A, D, E;

• Pigments: carotene, gossypol.

Animal fats - Rich in vitamins A and D, which are required by the body, and no other products;

in animal fats containing saturated fatty acids (effect on refractoriness) and cholesterol due

to the refractory qualities of saturated acids poorly digested by the body. Cholesterol affects

atherosclerosis. Animal fats found in butter, ghee, margarine.
