  1. NUTRITIONAL ASPECT OFMACRONUTRIENT LIPIDS Nutrition Department Medical Faculty Padjadjaran University

  2. DEFINITION • Lipids An organic compounds composed by C, H, and O, that includes triglycerides (fat and oils), phospholipids and sterols. • Fats Lipids in foods, or in the body, both are composed mostly of triglycerides (TG) • Oils Liquids fats (at room temperature) Characteristic : Hydrophobic, soluble in ether/alcohol

  3. Classification • Simple Lipids Neutral fats (mono/di/triglycerides  glycerol + fatty acid) • Based on chain length of fatty acid • Short Chain (SCFA) Fatty acids with 6 carbon or less, such as butiric acid in butter.

  4. Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCT) Fatty acids contain between 8 and 12 carbons, usually encountered in synthetic fats, such as lauric acid in coconut oil. • Long Chain Fatty Acids (LCT) Fatty acids contain up to 27 carbons with chain length of 16 or 18, most natural fats consist LCT.

  5. Based on degree of saturation • Saturated Fatty Acids (SAFA) Fatty acid that all carbon chain containing hydrogen. SAFA sources : • Meat and products, poultry, especially the skin layer • Dairy products: milk, cheese, yoghurt, and ice cream • Plants : coconut oil, palm oil • Food containing shortening and margarine : cake, snack, instant noodle.

  6. Unsaturated Fatty Acids Fatty acid contains one or more double bonds: • Mononsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA) Contain only one double bonds. Food sources : Avocado, olive, peanut, almond.

  7. Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid (PUFA) Contain two or more double bonds. Essential fatty acid. Based on the position of the first double bond : • Omega-6 18:2 : linoleic acid : leavy vegetable, seeds, nuts, grains, vegetable oil. 20:4 : arachidonic acid : meat, or can be made from linoleic acid.

  8. Omega-3 Linoleic acids : fats and oill (canola, soybean, walnut, wheat germ, margarine and shorteing), nuts and seeds (butternuts, walnuts, soybean kernels), vegetables (soybeans). EPA & DHA : Human milk, shelfish and fish (mackerel, salmon, tuna, herring, sardines), or can be made from linolenic acid

  9. Compound lipids • Phospholipid : compound of TG + niitrogen base + phosphate, phospholipid is available in every cells as cell structure, cell membrane, and cytoplasma. • Glycolipid : TG + CH: as cell structure and cell membrane. • Lipoprotein : TG + protein, as lipid transport in the blood : chylomicron, VLDL, LDL, HDL.

  10. Derived Lipids • Sterol : cholesterol, sources : brain, liver, egg, yolk. • Steroids hormones, Vit D, bile salts. • Miscellaneous Lipids Carotenoids and Vit A, Vit E, Vit K.

  11. Lipid Digestion • Mouth : partial digestion of lingual lipase in adult and active in infant. • Stomach : continous digestion by lingual lipase. • Small Intestin • Release of cholecystokinine hormone • Emulsification by bile acid • Digestion by lipase pancreas  fatty acid and glycerol

  12. Lipid Absorption • SCFA, MCT, glycerol  absorbed directly into the bloodstream. • Monoglycerides, LCT  micelles  TG + cholesterol + phospholipid merged into chylomicron  the lymphatic system

  13. Lipid Transport • Lipid as group lipoprotein : • Chylomicron: from intestinal  body • VLDL : from liver  various tissues in the body • LDL : circulate throughout the body (bloodstream and tissues) • HDL : transport cholesterol back to the liver from the cells

  14. Role of Lipids • Within the food : • Add to the palatability of the diet and produce a satiety feeling after meal. • To dissolve/as a solvent of Vit A,D,E,K • Essential as fatty acid sources

  15. Role of Lipids • In the body : • Energy source • Helps to hold the body organs and nerves in position • Vital organ protection • Body temperature insulation • Cell wall structure • Skin and hair lubrication • Aids transport and absorption of the fat soluble vitamins

  16. Role of Cholesterol • Element of cell membrane • Element of bile acid • Precursor of sterol hormones : estrogen, progesteron, testosterone, corticosteroid hormone

  17. Lipid Composition in Diet Daily • Fat < 30% total calorie (option 25%) • SAFA < 10% total lipid • PUFA ≤ 10% total lipid • MUFA < 15% total lipid • Cholesterol ≤ 300 mg

  18. Health Effect of Lipid Including Diseases Related to Lipids • Cardiocerebrovascular diseases  dislipidemia as major risk factor • Cancer  association between total fat diet and some type of cancers (Ca Mamma, Ca Uteri) • Obesity • Gall stone

  19. Normal Value of Lipid Profile • Triglyceride : 70-150 mg/100 ml • Cholesterol : 200 mg/100 ml • LDL < 150 mg/100 ml • HDL > 40 mg/100 ml

  20. Factors that improve HDL value • Weight control • Quit smoking • MUFA/PUFA instead of SAFA in the diet • Soluble fibers • Antioxidant • Physical activity
