  3. Fats and oils Fats and oils are built from an alcohol with three -O-H groups. glycerol Systematic name is propane-1,2,3-triol

  4. Fats and oils The other components of fat molecules are carboxylic acids such as Stearic acid Systematic name is octadecanoic acid

  5. Fats and oils Fats and oils are ESTERS of glycerol and long chain carboxylic acids

  6. Fats and oils Removal of water in the condensation reaction gives - The molecular formula shown above suggests that the fat molecule is shaped like an E, but the molecule is actually shaped more like this:

  7. Fats and oils Fats are mainly built from carboxylic acids with C-C single bonds. Stearic acid in beef fat Oils have some C=C bonds in the carboxylic acids from which they are made. Oleic acid in olive oil

  8. Fats and oils Oil Double bonds in oil make the molecule less compact. Less tightly packed molecules make oils liquid. Fat Fat molecules pack together more tightly, making fats solid at room temperature.

  9. References Prepared by Malcolm Stephenof Mackie Academy, Stonehaven, Kincardineshire He used free software called ‘RasTop’ to draw the ball and stick molecular images. This software can also be used to produce pdb files, interactive visualisations of the molecules. Web sites (checked 17/07/03): RasTop www.geneinfinity.org/rastop/ RasMol home page http://openrasmol.org/ An internet search for ‘rasmol’ or ‘chime’ will identify many potential sources of interactive molecular images.
