unsaturated
असंतृप्त
definition
adjective
In common with all unsaturated hydrocarbons hydrogen can be added across the double bond to produce ethane.
(of organic molecules) having carbon–carbon double or triple bonds and therefore not containing the greatest possible number of hydrogen atoms for the number of carbons.
example
These 'unsaturated' hydrocarbons are readily oxidised and polymerised, which can reduce the oil's shelf life.
Mono 'unsaturated' fatty acids are liquid at room temperature.
Thus conjugation can occur in molecules in which the 'unsaturated' sites are close in space but are separated by more than a single covalent bond.
In the case of oil palm, trees can be manipulated to produce more 'unsaturated' fatty acids.
The majority of your fat intake should come from 'unsaturated' fats.
In common with all 'unsaturated' hydrocarbons hydrogen can be added across the double bond to produce ethane.
When 'unsaturated' organic compounds are used as the starting point the alcohol is made by the addition of water to the double or triple bond.
The 'unsaturated' benzene ring readily reacts with halogens, rapidly discoloring bromine water.
Qualitative changes in the levels of fatty acids also occur with cold acclimation, leading to 'unsaturation' of the fatty acids and subsequent protection of plant membranes against freezing stress.
The current work shows that lipid asymmetry and 'unsaturation' both result in high critical pressures in monolayers.
The lipids in poultry exhibit a higher degree of 'unsaturation' than red meats due to a relatively high content of phospholipids.
The color of a dye is due to its ability to absorb light in the visible region of the spectrum, an ability enhanced by 'unsaturation' (presence of double bonds in the molecule) and resonance.
The degree of 'unsaturation' of fatty acids has been shown to influence several of these steps, at least in mammals.
