The department of chemistry at the college of education for pure and applied sciences (Ibn al-Haitham) has organized an electronic training course entitled “Fatty acid stratification” via the Google Classroom service. The aim of the course was to identify the fatty acids and their types and importance and to identify the process of stratification, especially the process of acid ingestion and its usefulness such as aspirin, skin moisturizers, emulsions and perfumes. The lecture showed that fatty acids are polyphencytes with a single-end carboxyl group, which are often connected to a non-branched carbon chain that ends with a methyl group from the other end.
It also addressed the need of the human body for all kinds of fats, whether saturated or unsaturated, but the human body cannot produce self-saturated fatty acids unlike saturated fats, which the human body can convert excess calories to and store in the form of grease, so it should be taken into account in the diet to eat quantities of vegetable oils, which in their entirety are unsaturated fats. The course concluded the need to hold seminars, courses and workshops and spread awareness of the importance of fatty acids (especially unsaturated fatty acids that the human body cannot produce), and the importance of making fatty acids esters such as aspirin medicine, perfumes, skin moisturizers and emulsions in the industry and identify their composition and importance.
