A triglyceride consists of a glycerol and three fatty acids. It is the major type of lipid used for energy storage... • Fatty Acids:The lipid building blocks.
Lipases: are enzymes which hydrolyse the triglycerides, releasing fatty acids. • +3H₂O lipase glycerol + f.a
The hydrolysis process can give all three fatty acids or it can yield one or two F.AS with diglycerides and monoglycerides... • FA1 FA2 FA3 • FA2 Lipase + Lipase FA FA1 • FA3 FA2
Materials: • Fresh whole milk • Litmus solution ( or litmus paper) as an indicator. • Pancreatin solution (boiled, unboiled). • 1% Calcium hydroxide solution.
Procedure: • 4ml milk half of A+ • + 10 drops 1ml boiled Litmus + 3 drops pancreatin so Ca(OH) 2 + 1ml unboiled in water bath (45⁰c) for4-6 hours.
Results: • Accumulation of free fatty acids will reduce the PH. • Pink colour with indicator • Odour • Precipitate.
