Crisco® cooking spray contains canola oil which contains 61% oleic acid (18:1, Δ9), 21% linoleic acid (18:2, Δ9,12) and 9% alpha linoleic acid (18:3, Δ9,12,15), 4% palmitic acid (16:0), and 2% stearic acid (18:0). Please draw the structure for oleic acid, numbering all carbons. Would this be considered an omega 3, 6, or 9 fatty acid? Based on its fatty acid composition, why is canola oil a healthy alternative compared to coconut oil, which contains 91% palmitic acid?
