    This document provides a list of common fatty acids found in foods. It includes the IUPAC name, common name, and shorthand notation for each fatty acid. The fatty acids are grouped into saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated types. For each fatty acid, it lists properties like carbon chain length, number of double bonds, and position of double bonds. This allows for standardized identification and classification of fatty acids important to nutrition.
