Njira imodzi yosankhira mafuta ndi momwe zimakhalira (monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, kapena saturated). Njira inanso ndi kutalika kwake kwa moleculeyo, kapena, molondola, ndi maatomu angati a mpweya omwe ali pakati pa molekyulu. Mamolekyu amodzi amatchedwa mafuta acid, ndipo mafuta osiyanasiyana amagwiritsidwa ntchito ndi thupi m'njira zosiyanasiyana.
Izi zikutanthauza kuti, pamene ife timakonda kuganizira, mwachitsanzo, mafuta odzaza, monga "chinthu chimodzi", mafuta onse osiyana, kuchokera ku ma atomu a carbon atatu mpaka ma atomu 36 a carbon, amachita mosiyana mthupi lathu. (The monounsaturated ndi polyunsaturated imakhalanso ndi kutalika kwa unyolo, koma palibe chomwe chimagwirizana ndi "mndandanda wamkati" kapena "mndandanda waifupi".)
Mafuta a ma-acid aliwonse apakatikati amakhala ndi ma atomu okwana 8 mpaka 12 mu unyolo (zina zimanena kuti 6 mpaka 12). Akamaphatikizidwa "katatu" pamodzi ndi "backbone" ya glycerol imapanga triglyceride molecule yotchedwa triglyceride .
Ubwino
Mafuta a m'kati mwake amapezeka mosavuta m'magazi panthawi ya chimbudzi ndipo amagwiritsidwa ntchito mosavuta kuti thupi likhale lamphamvu. Pamene zimagwiritsidwa ntchito, zimakhala zowonjezera, zomwe zingagwiritsidwe ntchito ndi ubongo, mtima, ndi zina zotupa m'thupi.
Palinso umboni wina wosonyeza kuti mitundu yambiri yamakina yotchedwa triglycerides ikhoza kukhala ndi mankhwala osokoneza bongo, komanso kuti ingathandize kuthandizira kulemera kwake.
Zotsatira za Mafuta a Chakudya Chakumapeto
Mafuta a kokonati, mafuta a kanjedza, ndi mkaka wa kokonati ndi zakudya zomwe zili ndi mafuta ambiri. Chokoleti ndi gwero la mafuta othawirako. Mafuta a MCT amapangidwa pochotsa mchere wochepetsetsa kuchokera ku kokonati ndi / kapena mafuta a kanjedza, choncho ndi mawonekedwe a mafuta ambiri.
Zitsanzo: Lauric asidi ndi decanoic asidi ndi zitsanzo zamatenda ochepetsera mafuta.
