Fatty acids are a type of dietary fat that's found in many foods and oils. They're also an essential part of your diet because they help maintain normal brain function and keep your skin healthy. Fatty acids are made up of chains of carbon atoms, with each carbon atom connected to others by single chemical bonds. The number of carbon atoms in each chain determines how long the fatty acid is — some fatty acids have only one carbon atom per chain (C1), while others have 20 or more (C20). Some fats contain mostly short-chain fatty acids (SCFA), while others contain mostly long-chain fatty acids (LCFA). All fats consist primarily of triglycerides , or three molecules called glycerol bonded together by ester bonds with a molecule called a "fatty acid."
