lipids
Any of a group of Nonpolar, hydrophobicsubstances that in general are soluble in organic solvents such as diethyl ether, petroleum ether, acetone, chloroform, benzene, CCl4, but are not soluble in water.

Hydrolysis products of lipids Carboxylic acid RCOOH No of Carbon: even Could have double bond
5
Saturated or unsaturated◦ w/ or w/o double bonds
polyunsaturated fatty acids: 2 or more double bonds
Higher/lower fatty acid◦ No of carbons 4~12: lower◦ 14~ : higher
6
R-groups on fatty acid chains are generally linear hydrocarbons, e.g.
which may be more simply represented as
CO
- O -CH3CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2
CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2
CO
- O -
7
Many R groups are alkane groups◦ single bonds only◦ these are called saturated fatty acids
Other R groups are alkene groups◦ 1 - 6 double bonds◦ fatty acids with one double bond are called
monounsaturated◦ fatty acids with two or more double bonds are
called polyunsaturated
8
Fatty acid chains represented using numbering system:
N:M
Chemists number carbons from chemically most reactive end
E.g. 12:0
consists of 12 carbons with no double bonds.

The symbol followed by the carbon number is used to indicate the position of the double bond
E.g. 18:19
consists of 18 carbons with 1 double bond located between the 9th and 10th carbon.

Scientists in the medical and nutrition community often number carbons from the opposite (tail) end◦ this nomenclature uses to denote the double bond position
E.g. the molecule
an be designated as 18:3 9,12,15, or as18:3 1812
