Concept introduction: Triacylglycerol is produced by the reaction of one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acid. The three hydroxyl groups of glycerol get esterified on reaction with fatty acids.
(b)
Interpretation: The number of different kinds of functional groups present in a triacylglycerol in which all fatty acid residues present come from saturated fatty acids has to be predicted.

(c)
Interpretation: The names for the functional groups present in a triacylglycerol in which all fatty acid residues present come from saturated fatty acids has to be predicted.

- Describe the structure of triacylglycerol (TAG) and explain the hydrolysis of TAG.arrow_forwardConsider olive oil, an oil with a high percentage of fat derived from oleic acid (otherwise known as cis[18:1] fatty acid). a, Explain why such a structure may allow olive oil to be one of the "healthier" oils? b, why such a structure may allow olive oil to be a liquid at room temperature, while butter and lard are solid at room temperature? c, why such a structure may cause olive oil to be prone to oxidative damage upon exposure to air and heat?arrow_forwardHelparrow_forward
- Using skeletal structures, draw the structure of a simple triacylglyceride containing 1 eicosapentanoic acid, 1 myristic acid and 1 oleic acid residues, with label.arrow_forwardOlestra has been used in certain snack foods as an alternative to fats and oils. Its structure consists of a sucrose molecule in which all free hydroxyl groups have formed esters with oleic acid (an 18-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid). Olestra molecules have no caloric value because they are exceptionally large and cannot be digested. Draw the structure of olestra. Use R-COOH as an abbreviation for oleic acid.arrow_forwardisomaltose is a disaccharide which can be obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of amylopectin. Deduce the structure of isomaltose from the following data: a. The hydrolysis of 1 mole of isomaltose with acid or alpha-glucosidase yields 2 moles of D- glucose. b. Isomaltose is a reducing sugar c. Isomaltose is oxidized with bromine water to isomaltonic acid. Insomaltonic acid methylation followed by hydrolysis yielded 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl-D-glucose and 2,3,4,5- tetra-O-methyl-D-gluconate acid. d. Isomaltose methylation itself followed by hydrolysis to produce 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-methyl- D-glucose and 2,3,4-tri-O-methyl-D-glucose. Describe according to the four points abovearrow_forward
