Why is it important for olive oil producers and consumers alike to understand the chemical composition and characteristics of olive oil?In this section, we describe the chemical composition of olive oil, and some of its characteristics. We discuss the different fatty acids found in olive oil. This will help you understand the effect of olive oil on a healthy diet.
Read MoreOlive oil is not a trans fatty acid because it has not been partially hydrogenated in a factory to make it solid at room temperature like margarine has. Long Chain Fatty Acids Long chain fatty acids have from 12 to 20 carbon atoms. The primary fatty acids in olive oil are all long chain fatty acids.
