Trans Unsaturated Fatty Acid Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)

Trans fat, or trans-unsaturated fatty acids, are a type of unsaturated fat that occurs in small amounts in nature, but became widely Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are organic chemicals that have a high vapor pressure at ordinary room temperature. Their high vapor
