#fatty_acid__fattyacid  any of a class of aliphatic monocarboxylic acids that form part of a lipid molecule and can be derived from fat by hydrolysis
  supertype:  #carboxylic_acid  an organic acid characterized by one or more carboxyl groups
  subtype:  #saturated_fatty_acid__saturatedfattyacid  a fatty acid whose carbon chain cannot absorb any more hydrogen atoms; found chiefly in animal fats
     subtype:  #margaric_acid__heptadecanoic_acid__heptadecanoicacid  a colorless crystalline synthetic fatty acid
     subtype:  #butyric_acid__butyricacid__butanoic_acid  an unpleasant smelling fatty acid found especially in butter
        subtype:  #hydroxybutyric_acid__oxybutyric_acid  hydroxy derivative of butyric acid
           subtype:  #beta-hydroxybutyric_acid  beta derivative of hydroxybutyric acid that is found in the blood and urine in some cases of impaired metabolism
     subtype:  #capric_acid__decanoic_acid  a fatty acid found in animal oils and fats; has an unpleasant smell resembling goats
     subtype:  #caproic_acid__caproicacid__hexanoic_acid  a fatty acid found in animal oils and fats or made synthetically; smells like goats
     subtype:  #caprylic_acid  a fatty acid having a rancid taste; found in butter and other fats and oils
     subtype:  #lauric_acid__dodecanoic_acid  a crystalline fatty acid occurring as glycerides in natural fats and oils (especially coconut oil and palm-kernel oil)
     subtype:  #myristic_acid__tetradecanoic_acid__tetradecanoicacid  a saturated fatty acid occurring naturally in animal and vegetable fats
     subtype:  #palmitic_acid__hexadecanoic_acid  a saturated fatty acid that is the major fat in meat and dairy products
     subtype:  #stearic_acid__stearicacid__octadecanoic_acid  a waxy saturated fatty acid; occurs widely as a glyceride in animal and vegetable fats
  subtype:  #unsaturated_fatty_acid__unsaturatedfattyacid  a fatty acid whose carbon chain can absorb additional hydrogen atoms
     subtype:  #monounsaturated_fatty_acid__monounsaturatedfattyacid  an unsaturated fatty acid whose carbon chain has one double or triple valence bond per molecule; found chiefly in olive oil and chicken and almonds
        subtype:  #elaidic_acid__elaidicacid  a monounsaturated fatty acid that has the same structure as oleic acid except that it is a trans fatty acid; the major trans fatty acid in margarine and fried foods
        subtype:  #oleic_acid__oleicacid  a colorless oily liquid occurring as a glyceride; it is the major fatty acid in olive oil and canola oil; used in making soap and cosmetics and ointments and lubricating oils
     subtype:  #polyunsaturated_fatty_acid__polyunsaturatedfattyacid  an unsaturated fatty acid whose carbon chain has more than one double or triple valence bond per molecule; found chiefly in fish and corn and soybean oil and safflower oil
        subtype:  #alpha-linolenic_acid__alphalinolenicacid  a polyunsaturated fatty acid most abundant in canola oil; a fatty acid essential for nutrition
        subtype:  #docosahexaenoic_acid__docosahexaenoicacid  a polyunsaturated fatty acid found in fish (especially tuna and bluefish)
        subtype:  #elcosapentaenoic_acid  a polyunsaturated fatty acid found in fish (especially tuna and bluefish)
        subtype:  #linoleic_acid__linolic_acid__linolicacid  a liquid polyunsaturated fatty acid abundant in plant fats and oils; a fatty acid essential for nutrition; used to make soap
        subtype:  #linolenic_acid__linolenicacid  a liquid polyunsaturated fatty acid that occurs in some plant oils; an essential fatty acid
     subtype:  #ricinoleic_acid  an oily fatty acid found in castor oil and used in soap
     subtype:  #eleostearic_acid__eleostearicacid__elaeostearicacid  a crystalline unsaturated fatty acid
  subtype:  #trans_fatty_acid__transfattyacid  a fatty acid that has been been produced by hydrogenating an unsaturated fatty acid (and so changing its shape); found in processed foods such as margarine and fried foods and puddings and commercially baked goods and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils
     subtype:  #elaidic_acid__elaidicacid  a monounsaturated fatty acid that has the same structure as oleic acid except that it is a trans fatty acid; the major trans fatty acid in margarine and fried foods
