Waxes 2 Waxes are • esters of saturated fatty acids and long-chain alcohols •

Waxes 2 Waxes are • esters of saturated fatty acids and long-chain alcohols • coatings that prevent loss of water by leaves of plants Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Eleventh Edition Copyright © 2012 by Pearson Education, Inc.

Fats and Oils: Triacylglycerols 3 Fats and oils are • also called triacylglycerols •

Fats and Oils: Triacylglycerols 3 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 Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Eleventh Edition Copyright © 2012 by Pearson Education, Inc.

Melting Points of Fats and Oils 9 A fat • is usually solid at

Melting Points of Fats and Oils 9 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 Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Eleventh Edition Copyright © 2012 by Pearson Education, Inc.

Oils with Unsaturated Fatty Acids 10 Oils • • • have more unsaturated fats

Oils with Unsaturated Fatty Acids 10 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 Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Eleventh Edition Copyright © 2012 by Pearson Education, Inc.
