Popular questions
  1. What is shellac nails?

    In beauty, “shellac nails” are a UV-cured hybrid gel-polish service (e.g., CND Shellac); despite the name, it does not use the food additive shellac (E904) resin used as a glaze.

  2. How to remove shellac nail polish?

    Soak the nails in acetone for about 10–15 minutes (using cotton and foil or remover wraps), then gently push off the softened coating—do not peel to avoid nail damage.

  3. Is shellac the same as gel?

    Not exactly—Shellac is a specific brand of gel-polish hybrid, while “gel” can refer broadly to many soak-off UV/LED gel systems; they cure similarly and have comparable wear.

  4. What is a shellac manicure?

    A manicure using a UV/LED-cured gel-polish system branded “Shellac” for long-lasting color; it’s unrelated to the food glazing agent shellac (E904).

  5. What are shellac nails?

    They are nails coated with a UV-cured gel-polish branded “Shellac” for chip-resistant wear, not coated with the food additive shellac (E904) used in food glazes.

  1. How many fatty acids are in a phospholipid?

    Two; most phospholipids have two fatty acid chains attached to a glycerol backbone along with a phosphate-containing head group.

  2. What are omega 3 fatty acids?

    Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fats whose first double bond is at the third carbon from the methyl end, such as ALA, EPA, and DHA.

  3. What is a fatty acid?

    A fatty acid (E570) is a carboxylic acid with a long hydrocarbon chain; in foods, E570 refers to purified fatty acids from edible fats used mainly as processing aids like release/lubricating agents.

  4. Where does fatty acid synthesis occur?

    In humans, de novo fatty acid synthesis occurs in the cytosol—especially in liver and adipose tissue—via the fatty acid synthase complex; in plants it occurs in chloroplasts.

  5. What is a saturated fatty acid?

    A saturated fatty acid has no carbon–carbon double bonds, giving a straight chain often solid at room temperature; common E570 examples include palmitic (C16) and stearic (C18) acids.
