Lipids

Lipids are• biomolecules that contain fatty acids or a steroid

nucleus.• soluble in organic solvents, but not in water.• named for the Greek word lipos, which means

“fat.”• extracted from cells using organic solvents.

Types of Lipids

The types of lipids containing fatty acids are• waxes• fats and oils (triacylglycerols)• glycerophospholipids• prostaglandins

The types of lipids that do not contain fatty acids are• steroids

Fatty Acids

Fatty acids are• long-chain carboxylic acids.• typically 12-18 carbon atoms.• insoluble in water.• saturated or unsaturated.

Olive oil contains 84% unsaturated fatty acids and 16% saturated fatty acids.

Page 6: 1 Chapter 15 Lipids 15.1 Lipids 15.2 Fatty Acids.

Properties of Saturated Fatty Acids

Saturated fatty acids

• contain only single C–C bonds.

• are closely packed.

• have strong attractions between chains.

• have high melting points.

• are solids at room temperature.

Properties of Unsaturated Fatty Acids

Unsaturated fatty acids• contain one or more cis double C=C

bonds.• have “kinks” in the fatty acid chains.• do not pack closely. • have few attractions between chains.• have low melting points.• are liquids at room temperature.

Learning Check

Assign the melting points of –17 °C, 13 °C, and 69 °C to the correct fatty acid. Explain.

stearic acid (18 C) saturated

oleic acid (18 C) one double bond

linoleic acid (18 C) two double bonds

Page 12: 1 Chapter 15 Lipids 15.1 Lipids 15.2 Fatty Acids.

12

Solution

Stearic acid is saturated and would have a higher melting point than the unsaturated fatty acids. Because linoleic has two double bonds, it would have a lower mp than oleic acid, which has one double bond.

stearic acid mp 69 °C saturated

oleic acid mp 13 °C

linoleic acid mp -17 °C most unsaturated

Fats and Oils: Triacylglycerols or Triglycerides

Fats and oils are• also called triacylglycerols.• esters of glycerol.• produced by esterification.• Formed when the hydroxyl

groups of glycerol react with the carboxyl groups of fatty acids.

Page 16: 1 Chapter 15 Lipids 15.1 Lipids 15.2 Fatty Acids.

16

In a triacylglycerol, glycerol forms ester bonds with three fatty acids.

Melting Points of Fats and Oils

A fat • is usually solid at room temperature.• is prevalent in meats, whole milk, butter, and cheese.

An oil• is usually liquid at room temperature.• is prevalent in plants such as olive and safflower.

Page 19: 1 Chapter 15 Lipids 15.1 Lipids 15.2 Fatty Acids.

Oils with Unsaturated Fatty Acids

Oils• have more unsaturated fats.• have cis double bonds that cause “kinks” in the fatty

acid chains.• with “kinks” in the chains do not allow the

triacylglycerol molecules to pack closely.• have lower melting points than saturated fatty acids.• are liquids at room temperature.

15.4 Chemical Properties of Triacylglycerols

(Triglycerides)

Page 23: 1 Chapter 15 Lipids 15.1 Lipids 15.2 Fatty Acids.

23

The chemical reactions of triacylglycerols are similarto those of alkenes and esters.

• In hydrogenation, double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids react with H2 in the presence of a Ni or Pt catalyst.

• In hydrolysis, ester bonds are split by water in the presence of an acid, a base, or an enzyme.

Page 24: 1 Chapter 15 Lipids 15.1 Lipids 15.2 Fatty Acids.

Hydrogenation of Oils

The hydrogenation of oils

• adds hydrogen (H2) to the carbon atoms of double bonds.• converts double bonds to single bonds. • increases the melting

point.• produces solids, such as

margarine and shortening.

Hydrogenation and Trans Fatty Acids

Most naturally occurring fatty acids have cis doublebonds.• During hydrogenation, some cis double bonds are converted to

trans double bonds.

• In the body, trans fatty acids behave like saturated fatty acids.

• It is estimated that 2-4% of our total Calories is in the form of trans fatty acid.

• Several studies reported that trans fatty acids raise LDL-cholesterol and lower HDL-cholesterol.
