PPT-LAB 7 : REACTIONS of LIPIDS

DR SHAIMAA MUNTHER LIPIDS CHEMISTRY The term lipids applies to a class of compounds that are soluble in organic solvents eg alcohol and chloroform and insoluble in water Lipids are essential components of every living cell . Lipids are….. It can be defined as . nonpolar. organic compound insoluble in polar solvent , but . soluble in organic solvents. such as benzene ,ether, . chloroform.. Biological role of lipids. :. Chapter 29. 2. Lipids. are . biomolecules. that are soluble in organic solvents.. The identity of lipids is defined on the basis of a physical property and not by the presence of a particular functional group.. Lipids are relatively insoluble in water.. They are soluble in . nonpolar. solvents such as chloroform , diethyl ether, acetone, benzene and ether.. The hydrophobic (water hating) nature of lipids is due to the predominance of hydrocarbon chain.(-CH2-CH2-CH2-) in their structure. Nature’s flavor enhancer. lipids vs carbohydrates. - . both . Contain: carbon. , hydrogen, and . oxygen. LIPIDS do not:. dissolve in water. provide structure to food products. lipids. Food Examples: . Lipid chemistry . Lipid chemistry . Definition . Fats and Oils (triglyceride) . Waxes. Steroids. Fat- soluble vitamins. Phospholipid. Mono- di glycerides . Lipid compounds including: . Classification of Lipids. Pratt & . Cornely. , . Ch. 8. Lipids and Membranes. There is a lot of important biochemistry of lipids.. We won’t cover it all!. The key points for this class have to do with their role in membranes and fat metabolism. Lipids. …. a category of organic compounds that are insoluble in water and have a greasy feel.. Pringles. Calories. Fat. Satur-ated. Fat. Cost. Regular Pringles. 150. 9. 2.5. $1.00. Light Pringles. Lipids are hydrophobic or amphipathic small molecules that may originate entirely or in part by carbanion-based condensations of thioesters (fatty acids, polyketides, etc.) and/or by carbocation-based condensations of isoprene units . What elements are Lipids composed of?. Carbon (C) . Hydrogen (H). Oxygen (O). A whole lot of Hydrogen!!!!!. Function in Living Organisms. Lipids usually serve one of three functions: . 1. Energy storage. are a diverse group of compounds that are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol.. The most common types of lipid are . triglycerides. (sometimes known as true fats or neutral fats), but other important lipids include waxes, steroids and cholesterol.. What are the main classes of . lipids?. Where are they found in the cell?. Where did they come from?. Lipids Classes. Fatty acids. Free (toxic unless esterified). Esterifed. in . glycerophospholipids. Lipids. : . are a group of naturally occurring substances include a diverse group of organic compounds including . fats, oils, hormones. , and certain components of membranes (. phospholipids. ). All of these substances relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like: chloroform, ether and benzene.. Prof. Mamoun Ahram. Resources. This lecture. Lippincott’s Biochemistry, Ch. 15. What are lipids?. Lipids are heterogeneous, hydrophobic, compartmentalized in membranes, as droplets of triacylglycerol (TAG), or in lipoprotein (LP) particles or, or protein-bound. . are a large and diverse group of naturally occurring organic compounds that share some general . properties. .. General Properties of Lipids. Insoluble . in water.. Soluble in non-polar organic solvents .
