Types of fats in food Unsaturated fat Monounsaturated fat Polyunsaturated fat Trans fat Omega fatty acids: ω-3 ω-6 ω-9 Saturated fat Interesterified fat See also Fatty acid Essential fatty acid Food portal n-9 fatty acids popularly referred to as ω-9 fatty acids or omega-9 fatty acids are a family of unsaturated fatty acids which have in common a carbon-carbon double bond in the n-9 position; that is, the ninth bond from the end of the fatty acid. Contents 1 Background 2 List of n-9 fatty acids 3 See also 4 References 4.1 Additional references Background Some n-9s are common components of animal fat and vegetable oil. Two n-9 fatty acids important in industry are: Oleic acid 18:1, n-9, which is a main component of olive oil and other monounsaturated fats Erucic acid 22:1, n-9, which is found in rapeseed, wallflower seed, and mustard seed. Rapeseed with high erucic acid content is grown for commercial use in paintings and coatings as a drying oil. Unlike n-3 and n-6 fatty acids, n-9 fatty acids are not classed as essential fatty acids EFA. This is both because they can be created by the human body from unsaturated fat, and are therefore not essential in the diet, and because the lack of an n-6 double bond keeps them from participating in the reactions that form the eicosanoids. Under severe conditions of EFA deprivation, mammals will elongate and desaturate oleic acid to make mead acid, 20:3, n-9.1 This also occurs to a lesser extent in vegetarians and semi-vegetarians.2 List of n-9 fatty acids Common name Lipid name Chemical name oleic acid 18:1 n-9 9-octadecenoic acid eicosenoic acid 20:1 n-9 11-eicosenoic acid mead acid 20:3 n-9 5,8,11-eicosatrienoic acid erucic acid 22:1 n-9 13-docosenoic acid nervonic acid 24:1 n-9 15-tetracosenoic acid See also Polyunsaturated fatty acid, lists of fatty acids including n-3, n-6, and n-9 fatty acids n-3 fatty acid n-6 fatty acid References ^ Lipomics.
