Fatty acids are long hydrocarbon chains present in triglycerides and phospholipids. Fatty acid can be categorized as saturated, monounsaturated, and poly-unsaturated fatty acids based on number of bonds between the carbon atoms. Fatty acids that possess no double bonds and are linear in structure are called saturated fatty acids; fatty acids with single double bonds are monounsaturated fatty acids; whereas fatty acid with multiple double bond are called polyunsaturated fatty acids. Essential fatty acids cannot be synthesized within the human body, and are obtained from the various external sources such as plants, vegetable oils, nuts & seeds, animal fats and others.
Essential fatty acids such as omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are crucial for the development, functioning, and maintenance of brain and other nervous tissues; for vision processes; for the improvement of immune and inflammatory responses; for maintaining the concentrations of triglycerides; aids in lowering the risk factors for heart disease, and to maintain normal blood pressure.
