Lipids
- Family of bimolecules.
- They are not defined by a particular functional group, thus they have a variety of structures and functions.
- They are soluble in organic solvents but not in water (nonpolar).
- They contain many nonpolar C—C and C—H bonds and few polar bonds resulting in their water insolubility.

Fatty acids are:
• Long-chain unbranched carbon attached to a carboxyl group.
• Typically 12-18 carbon atoms.
• Insoluble in water.

• The human body is capable of synthesizing most fatty acids from
carbohydrates or other fatty acids.
• Humans do not synthesize sufficient amounts of fatty acids that
have more than one double bond.
• More than one double bond fatty acids are called essential fatty
acids and they must be provided by the diet.

Waxes
- are found in many plants and animals (or humans).
- In plants, they help prevent loss of water and damage from pests.
- In humans and animals, provide waterproof coating on skin and fur.
Wax is an ester of saturated fatty acid and long chain alcohol.

Triacylglycerols are:
• Fats and oils (are stored in the body).
• Triesters of glycerol.
• Produced by Fischer esterification.
• Formed when the hydroxyl groups of glycerol react with the carboxyl groups of fatty acids.

Triacylglycerols (Triglycerides)
Fat: is a triacylglycerol that is solid at room temperature.
Made by more saturated fatty acids (Saturated triacylglycerols).
Meat, milk, butter and cheese (animal sources).
Oil: is a triacylglycerol that is liquid at room temperature.
Made by more unsaturated fatty acids (Unsaturated triacylglycerols).
Corn, cotton seed, safflower and sunflower (plant sources).
Both are colorless, odorless, and tasteless.

- Hydrogen adds to the double bonds of unsaturated fats (using transition
metal catalyst such as Ni).
- Melting point is increased.
- Liquid oils are converted to semisolid fats.

• Is the process of forming “soaps” (salts of fatty acids).
• Is the reaction of a fat with a strong base (NaOH).
• Splits triacylglycerols into glycerol and the salts of fatty acids.
• With KOH or the oils that are polyunsaturated gives softer soaps (liquid soaps).
• Name of soap gives the source of the oil.
