dc.description.abstract	Fatty acids are important structural components that are required for the metabolic events. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) include multiple double bonds while monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs) have one double bond which makes them different from the other fatty acids in the cis configuration in their chemical structure. Such fatty acids have benefits which are positive and protective on human health and development including decrease in the risk of cardiovascular diseases which have risk of death, effects in cancer prevention and treatment, attenuation of the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, relieve of clinical symptoms in skin diseases, asthma, allergic diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, eczema, seborrhoeic dermatitis, psoriasis, and reduction in the risk of diabetes. In this chapter, sources, extraction techniques, bioavailability, stability, safety, and toxicology, and health benefits of PUFAs and MUFAs will be discussed.
