esters or long chain fatty acids and alcohols
Lipids
Basic unit of lipid
triglyceride
triglyceride composition
three fatty acids and one glycerol (specifically glycerol) is needed
Fixed Oils
FA:
Alcohol:
Other:
FA: Unsaturated
Alcohol: Glycerol
Other: Liquid at room temp
Fats
FA:
Alcohol:
Other:
FA: Saturated
Alcohol: Glycerol
Other: Solid at room temp
Waxes
FA:
Alcohol:
Other:
FA: High MW, straight-chain acids
Alcohol: High MW, straight-chain alcohol
Other: Usually solid
t/f Fixed oils are plant sources
true
t/f ALL fixed oils are liquid at room temperature
false. except for cocoa butter (Theobroma cacao) thats why its used as a suppository base
Fats are _______ sources
animal
t/f Fats are solid at room temperature except for the cod liver oil
true
_________ the only liquid plant wax
Jojoba oil
(lipid usp test) # of mg KOH needed to NEUTRALIZE the free acids in 1 g sample
ACID VALUE / ACID NUMBER
(lipid usp test) # of mg KOH needed to SAPONIFY the esters in 1 g sample
ESTER VALUE
(lipid usp test) # of mg KOH needed to NEUTRALIZE the free acids and SAPONIFY the esters in 1 g sample
SAPONIFICATION VALUE / KOETTSDORFER NUMBER
(lipid usp test) measures degree of unsaturation (how many double bonds are in the fat or oils sample)
IODINE NUMBER
(lipid usp test) test to find about its ability to absorb oxygen and form a dry film
IODINE NUMBER
(iodine number usp test)
Non-Drying Oil : ________
Semi-Drying Oil : _____________
Drying Oil : ____________
Non-Drying Oil : <100
Semi-Drying Oil : between 100 and 120
Drying Oil : > 120
(iodine number usp test)
Non : PACO
Semi : Se, Se
Drying : Soybean , Linseed
Non : Peanut, Almond, Coconut, Olive
Semi : cottonSEed, SEsame
Drying : Soybean , Linseed
most nutritious fixed oil, used in intralipid TPN
soybean
used in painting
linseed
formed when O2 saturates double bonds to form oxides that may polymerize
hard film (paint)
burned fat
acrolein
t/f In fats, if hydrogen is binded in the double bond, it does not rancidify. But when
oxygen binded, there will be peroxidation that will cause rancidification
true. presence of Oxygen = oxidation, thus rancidification
Active ingredients of medicinal plants are divided into 3 classes:
Terpenes, aromatic compounds, alkaloids
