Chapter 17: Lipids
Lipids are Biomolecules that contain fatty acids or a steroid
nucleus. Soluble in organic solvents but not in water. Named for the Greek word lipos, which means “fat.” Extracted from cells using organic solvents.

Saturated fatty acids have Single C–C bonds. Molecules that fit closely together
in a regular pattern. Strong attractions between fatty
acid chains. High melting points that make
them solids at room temperature.

The chemical reactions of triacylglycerols are similar
to those of alkenes and esters.
In hydrogenation, double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids react with H2 in the presence of a Ni or Pt catalyst.
In hydrolysis, ester bonds are split by water in the presence of an acid, a base, or an enzyme.

Hydrogenation of Oils
The hydrogenation of oils Adds hydrogen (H2) to the carbon atoms of double bonds. Converts double bonds to single bonds. Increases the melting point. Produces solids such as margarine and shortening.

Trans Fatty Acids and Hydrogenation Trans fatty acids
Are formed during hydrogenation when cis double bonds are converted to trans double bonds.
In the body behave like saturated fatty acids.
Are estimated to make up 2-4% of our total Calories.
Are reported in several studies reported to raise LDL-cholesterol (bad) and lower HDL-cholesterol. (good)

Saponification and Soap
Saponification Is the reaction of a fat with a strong base. Splits triacylglycerols into glycerol and the salts of
fatty acids. Is the process of forming “soaps” (salts of fatty
acids). With KOH gives softer soaps.
