Descriptor Spanish: Ácidos Grasos trans
Descriptor ácidos grasos trans
Entry term(s) ácido graso trans
Scope note: ÁCIDOS GRASOS INSATURADOS que contienen al menos un doble enlace con la configuración trans, lo que da lugar a una mayor angulación del enlace que con la configuración cis. Como consecuencia, la cadena del ácido graso es más extendida, similar a la de los ÁCIDOS GRASOS SATURADOS, con mayor espesamiento y reducción de la fluidez. La HIDROGENACIÓN de los ácidos grasos desaturados aumenta el contenido trans.

Scope note: UNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS that contain at least one double bond in the trans configuration, which results in a greater bond angle than the cis configuration. This results in a more extended fatty acid chain similar to SATURATED FATTY ACIDS, with closer packing and reduced fluidity. HYDROGENATION of unsaturated fatty acids increases the trans content.
