Question Text

Please add the result for MUFA to the table above.

Correct!

Hints:

1) Summarize in the excel sheet all MUFA (only cis) acids.

2) Multiply this with F (= 0.956) to get the amount per g lipids.

3) Multiply this with 0.80 (the fat fraction in margarine). This will give you the final amount of trans fatty acids in g per 100 g margarine. Add this answer to the table.

Your answer is still incorrect. Please try again, and if possible ask your supervisor for help. If you do not succeed to find the right answers, please click submit again to get the right answers.

Now the right answer is shown, so you can continue with the case.

Therefore, it is important that the documentation of FCDB clearly defines the different fatty acids classes.

Add the results for MUFA (only cis!) to the table

Also calculate total mono unsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). Please note that from a nutritional point of view only MUFA with the double bound in the cis configuration should be included (because of different fysiological effects of cis and trans fatty acids). However, not all FCDB are consistent with respect to this. Sometimes also trans fatty acids may be included in this class.
