  1. W W Nawar: Lipids • “Lipids consist of a board group of compounds that are generally soluble in organic solvents but only sparingly soluble in water….” “…Glycerol esters of fatty acids, which make up 99% of the lipids of plant and animal origin have traditionally been called fats and oils. This distinction, based solely on whether the material is solid or liquid at room temperature, is of little practical importance and the two terms are often used interchangeably.” From: Fennema (1996)

  2. Fatty Acids • Straight chain • Even numbers • Mainly c12-c20 • Double bonds usually cis (note – hydrogenation) • Polyunsaturated, methylene interrupted, Rarely other functional groups

  3. Examples • Butanoic acid (butyric acid) • Octadecanoic acid (Stearic acid) • 9-Octadecenoic acid (Oleic acid)

  4. Glycerol esters • Glycerol (viscous, polar polyol) • Monoglyceride and Diglyceride (surface active) • Triglyceride (non polar oil) Most food oils are a very diverse group of triglycerides

  5. Lipid Classification • Milk fats. Relatively high proportion of short chain fatty acids • Vegetable butters. Unsaturated, narrow melting range • Oleic-Linoleic. Most vegetable oils, • Linolenic. Soybean oil • Animal fats. Long chain fatty acids • Marine oils. Long chain PUFAs (up to 6 unsaturations)

  6. Amphiphillic

  7. Cholesterol
