For two novel sunscreen filters, following reactions took place during preparation of sample "X", where triglycerides of olive oil contain up to 85% Oleic Acid (C18: 1), a
monounsaturated fatty acid. The product formed in this reaction was triglycerides PABA.
To obtain oil with the highest ratio of
monounsaturated fatty acids with respect to saturated ones, avocadoes must be grown in areas where temperatures in the winter are not too high.

With all the hype about
monounsaturated fatty acids, you would have thought that there would be an easy and straightforward answer to this obvious question.
All samples presented higher levels of
monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), between 363.69 and 425.30 mg [g.sup.-1] of total lipids, followed by polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUF A), between 294.46 and 342.45 mg [g.sup.-1] of total lipids and saturated fatty acids (SFA), between 203.32 and 223.17 mg [g.sup.-1] of total lipids.
Monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) rich diet has been reported to decrease plasma total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol and increase HDL-cholesterol levels [2-5].
Objective: To evaluate the effect of
monounsaturated fatty acid enriched extra virgin olive oil on glycemic status and insulin secretion in diabetic rats.
[16.] Chang NW and PC Huang Effects of ratio of polyunsaturated and
monounsaturated fatty acid to saturated fatty acid on rat plasma and liver lipid concentrations.
Walnuts have a high content in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), particularly linoleic acid and a-linolenic acid, the vegetable n-3 fatty acid, while almonds are rich in
monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA).
(2) Oleic acid, the
monounsaturated fatty acid in olive oil, and the saturated fatty acid palmitic acid were found to be the two dominant fatty acids.
SFA: Saturated Fatty Acids; MUFA:
Monounsaturated Fatty Acid; PUFA: Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid.
