This overview highlights the vital functions of lipids in the human body. Lipids enhance palatability and serve as an energy source while providing structural materials for cell membranes and tissues. They act as emulsifiers in the gut and supply essential fatty acids such as C18:2, C18:3, and C20:4. Additionally, lipids are crucial carriers for fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. They also play a role in flavor and aroma development and include important compounds like omega-3 fatty acids for overall health.
