It is a white (or colourless) viscous liquid.TFAs are classified as conjugated and nonconjugated corresponding usually to the structural elements -CH=CH-CH2-CH=CH- and -CH=CH-CH=CH- respectively. Nonconjugated TFAs are represented by elaidic acid and linolelaidic acid. Their presence is linked heart diseases.
