Study Notes
Classifications of Lipids
- Lipids classified into fixed oils, fats, and waxes based on composition and phase.
- Fixed oils are typically triacylglycerols (TAGs) with a liquid state, primarily from plants; fats are TAGs in solid state, mainly from animals; waxes consist of fatty acids and long monohydric alcohols, appearing as solid or semisolid.
- Special Cases:
- Cod liver oil: unique as a liquid fat.
- Cacao: notable as the only solid oil.
- Jojoba: recognized as a liquid wax.
Drying Capacity of Fixed Oils
- Fixed oils classified based on iodine value indicating drying capacity:
- Drying Oils: Iodine value >120 (e.g., linseed, cod, safflower).
- Semi-Drying Oils: Iodine value 100-120 (e.g., corn, cottonseed, peanut, sesame).
- Nondrying Oils: Low iodine values represent oils that do not dry.
Key Fixed Oils
- Linseed Oil (Linum usitatissimum): Used in varnishes; high omega-3 content.
- Cod Liver Oil (Gadus morhua): Source of omega-3; contains vitamins A and D; used in Scott's Emulsion; sodium morhuate treats varicose veins.
- Cottonseed Oil (Gossypium hirsutum): Contains gossypol, linked to male sterility; identified through Halphen and Bevan tests.
Other Notable Oils
- Sesame Oil (Sesamum indicum): Also known as Benne oil; contains sesamolin which synergizes with pyrethrin.
- Coconut Oil (Cocus nucifera): Low iodine value and contains lauric acid, making it unique among oils.
- Olive Oil (Olea europea):
- Varieties include virgin (highest quality), second grade, technical, sulfur grade, and toumant grade.
- Recognized for distinct taste and culinary applications.
- Almond Oil (Prunus amygdalus): Commonly used as an emollient.
Castor Oil (Ricinus communis)
- Contains ricinoleic acid, a potent cathartic.
- Pyrolysis yields undecylenic acid, known for antifungal properties; ozonolysis produces azelaic acid, beneficial for acne.
Other Oils
- Ethiodized Oil: Radiopaque agent derived from ethyl esters of Papaver somniferum.
- Evening Primrose Oil (Oenothera biennis): Sources of gamma-linolenic and alpha-linolenic acids (omega-3 and omega-6).
Fats
- Lanolin: Hydrous wool fat from sheep, utilized in cosmetic formulations.
- Suet: Fat acquired from beef or mutton, used in food and medicinal applications.
- Lard: Rendered fat from pigs.
Waxes
- Spermaceti: Derived from the head of sperm whales, used in ointments and creams; contains cetyl esters.
- Jojoba Oil: Serves as an emollient.
- Carnauba Wax: From Copernica prunifera, preferred in commercial applications due to its composition (myricyl cerotate).
- Beeswax: Composed mainly of myricyl palmitate, found in soaps, candles, and cosmetics; available as yellow (natural) or white (bleached) wax.
