The Lipids Triglycerides, Phospholipids & Sterols FN 1070 Week 5: Chapter 5 The Chemistry The Chemistry Lipids: organic (carbon-containing) compounds soluble in organic solvents not soluble in water most are a mixture of SFA, MUFA, PUFA Fats: lipids that are solid at room temperature (25o C or 70o F) Oils: lipids that are liquid at room temp Three types of lipids in the body/food Triglycerides Phospholipids Sterols Fatty Acids Fatty Acids Differ in: The length of the carbon chain Most contain an even number of C’s Long chain FA (14-18 C) Meat, seafood, vegetable oils Very long chain FA (20-24 C) Fatty fish Medium (6-12 C) and short chain (
