Fatty acids are sub-units of fats. The free fatty acid ratio is an important quality characteristic. The lower it is, the better the storage and shelf life of the respective oil or fat will be. There are mainly three types of fats mono saturated, unsaturated, and polyunsaturated. This ratio is crucial to many pathological conditions.
