Glycerides are esters of glycerol and fatty acids. Jump to: navigation, search In organic chemistry and biochemistry, esters are organic compounds where an organic group (symbolised by R in this article) replaces a hydrogen atom (or more than one) in an oxygen acid. ... ... In chemistry, especially biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid (or organic acid), often with a long aliphatic tail (long chains), either saturated or unsaturated. ...

Glycerol has three hydroxyl functional groups and can esterify with one, two or three fatty acids to form monoglycerides, diglycerides and triglycerides. Hydroxide is a functional group consisting of oxygen and hydrogen: -O−H It has a charge of 1-. The term hydroxyl group is used when the functional group -OH is counted as a substituent of an organic compound. ... In ecology functional groups are collections of organisms based on morphological, physiological, behavioral, biochemical, or environmental responses or on trophic criteria. ... Jump to: navigation, search Triglycerides (also known as triacylglycerols or triacylglycerides) are glycerides in which the glycerol is esterified with three fatty acids. ...

Vegetable oils and animal fats mostly contain triglycerides, but are broken down by natural enzymes (lipases) into mono- and diglycerides and free fatty acids.Soaps often contain glyceride as well. Glycerol is a product that softens the skin. It can absorb moisture from the air. If 100% glycerol was left out, in 10 - 12 hours it would become 80% glycerol and 20% water. Jump to: navigation, search Vegetable oil or vegoil is fat extracted from plant sources, known as oil plants. ... ...
