In chemistry, particularly in biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic chain, which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have an unbranched chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28. Examples would be fats, oils, cholesterols, and steroids. Fatty acids are in fact carboxylic acids with long aliphatic chain, which can be saturated (containing only C-C single bonds) or unsaturated (containing multiple bonds between carbon atoms). Examples of saturated fatty acids are Palmitic acid, stearic acid etc.
