Study Notes
Physical Properties of Oils and Fats
- Oils are liquids at room temperature, while fats are solid.
- Both oils and fats have a greasy feel and are colorless, odorless, and tasteless in their pure forms.
Definition and Composition of Lipids
- Lipids are esters formed from long-chain fatty acids and alcohols.
- They are waxy or oily substances found in all living organisms.
- Lipids are non-polar and insoluble in polar solvents like water but soluble in non-polar solvents like ether, chloroform, benzene, and acetone.
Solubility of Lipids
- Lipids do not dissolve in water but dissolve well in organic solvents, collectively known as "lipid-solvents" or "fat-solvents."
Rancidification
- Rancidification involves the formation of acrolein (propenal), which has an acrid odor.
- Dehydrating agents like KHSO4 (potassium bisulfate) and MgSO4 can promote this process.
Emulsification of Fats
- Albumin can act as an emulsifier, stabilizing mixtures of oil and water.
- Temporary emulsions form when coconut oil mixes with water directly or with sodium carbonate.
- A stable emulsion can occur when rancid oil is mixed with water and albumin.
Halogenation Reactions
- Halogenation involves reactions with bromine and iodine, potentially used for testing the presence of unsaturation in fats and oils.
Tests for Cholesterol
- Salkowski's test shows a color change from bluish-red to purple.
- Liebermann-Burchard test uses acetic anhydride and sulfuric acid, resulting in a color change from red or pink to bluish-green to indicate cholesterol presence.
Test for Glycerol
- Glycerol can be converted to acrolein through acid dehydration.
Iodine Number (Value)
- The iodine number measures unsaturation in fats and oils, indicating the grams of iodine that react with 100 grams of fat.
- Unsaturated fatty acids absorb iodine at double bonds until fully saturated, providing insight into the degree of unsaturation in a sample.
