2. Lipids Main functions of lipids in foods
Energy and maintain human health
Influence on food flavor
Fatty acids impart flavor
Lipids carry flavors/nutrients
Influence on food texture
Solids or liquids at room temperature
Change with changing temperature
Participation in emulsions
3. Lipids Lipids are soluble in many organic solvents
Ethers (n-alkanes)
Alcohols
Benzene
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide)
They are generally NOT soluble in water
C, H, O and sometimes P, N, S
4. Lipids Neutral Lipids
Triacylglycerols
Waxes
Long-chain alcohols (20+ carbons in length)
Cholesterol esters
Vitamin A esters
Vitamin D esters
Conjugated Lipids
Phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids
Derived Lipids
Fatty acids, fatty alcohols/aldehydes, hydrocarbons
Fat-soluble vitamins
5. Lipids Structure Triglycerides or triacylglycerols Glycerol + 3 fatty acids >20 different fatty acids
