There are four major categories of dietary fat for labeling purposes: saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated and trans fat. The FDA [Food and Drug Administration] considers the terms "trans fat" and "trans fatty acids" as interchangeable. 5, record 1, English, - trans%20fat
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
When listed on a Nutrition Facts panel, it must be termed "trans fat" and be declared directly below the amount of saturated fat. Listing unhealthy fats, such as saturated and trans fats, will be mandatory. Mono- and polyunsaturated fats, which are considered "healthy" fats, are voluntary nutrients. They may or may not be declared on a Nutrition Facts panel. 5, record 1, English, - trans%20fat

Les gras trans apparaissent lorsqu'on utilise un processus appelé hydrogénation, c'est-à-dire lorsque l'on transforme des huiles liquides en huiles solides. Ce procédé a pour effet d'augmenter la durée de vie et la stabilité du produit, mais également de former les gras trans. 2, record 1, French, - gras%20trans

Los ácidos grasos trans, como las grasas saturadas y el colesterol dietético elevan el colesterol LDL (colesterol "malo") que incrementa el riesgo de insuficiencia coronaria. Los expertos en salud recomiendan mantener la ingesta de estos nutrientes lo más baja que sea posible al tiempo de consumir una dieta nutricionalmente adecuada. 3, record 1, Spanish, - grasa%20trans

dienes: Compounds that contain two fixed double bonds (usually assumed to be between carbon atoms). 4, record 3, English, - diene
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Dienes in which the two double-bond units are linked by one single bond are termed conjugated, e.g. CH2=CH-CH-CH2 buta-1,3-diene. Dienes in which the double bonds are adjacent are called cumulative, e.g. CH3CH=CH=CH2 buta-1,2-diene. Those in which one or more of the unsaturated carbon atoms are replaced by a heteroatom may be called heterodienes. 4, record 3, English, - diene

Les diènes dans lesquels les deux unités comportant une double liaison sont liées entre elles par une liaison simple sont dits conjugués. Par exemple : CH2=CH-CH=CH2 buta-1,3-diène. Les diènes dans lesquels les doubles liaisons sont adjacentes sont dits cumulés, par exemple : CH3-CH=C=CH2 buta-1,2-diène. Les diènes dans lesquels un ou plusieurs atomes de carbone insaturés sont remplacés par un hétéroatome sont nommés hétérodiènes. 4, record 3, French, - di%C3%A8ne

En français, on trouve parfois le synonyme, incorrect mais usuel, oléfine (olefin en anglais). Les oléfines, en effet, en plus de désigner les alcènes, peuvent désigner d'autres hydrocarbures à plusieurs doubles liaisons carbone, par exemple les diènes, appelés aussi dioléfines ou alcadiènes (diene, alkadiene ou diolefin en anglais). 5, record 4, French, - alc%C3%A8ne
