Classification of Fats:A. Simple lipids B. Compound lipids C. Derived lipids
Classification of Fats: A: are called neutral fats The chemical name for these basic fats is triglycerides. This name indicates their chemical structure, a glycerol base with three fatty acids attached. Glycerol is derived from a water-soluble form of carbohydrate.Simple lipids
Classification of Fats: A: are esters of fatty acids with higher molecular weight alcohol. They are classified into sterol and non-sterol esters.Waxes
Classification of Fats: B: Are various combinations of fats with other components.Compound lipids
Classification of Fats: B: Compound Lipids:phospholipids, glycolipids, lipoproteins
Classification of Fats: B: Compound Lipids: are compounds of fatty acids, phophoric acids, and nitrogenous bases.Phopholipids
Classification of Fats: B: Compound Lipids: Phospholipids:a. Lecithins b. Cephalins c. Sphingomyelins
Classification of Fats: B: Compound Lipids: Phospholipids: A: Are the most widely distributed of the phospholipids. Traces are placed in liver and egg yolk and in raw vegetable oils such as corn oil. They are added to food products such as cheese, margarine, and confections to aid emulsification.Lecithins
Classification of Fats: B: Compound Lipids: Phospholipids: B: are needed to form thromboplastin for the blood-clotting process.Cephalins
Classification of Fats: B: Compound Lipids: Phospholipids: C: are found in the brain and other nerve tissues as components of myelin sheath. Three [these] substances act as an insulator around the nerve fibers. Egg yolk and liver are good sources of these phospholipids.Shingomyelins
Classification of Fats: B: Compound Lipids: are compounds of fatty acids combined with carbohydrates and nitrogenous bases.Glycolipids
Classification of Fats: B: Compound Lipids: Glycolipids:a. Cerebrosides b. Gangliosides
Classification of Fats: B: Compound Lipids: Glycolipids: A: are components of nerve tissue and certain cell membranes where they play a vital role in fall transport. Their carbohydrate component is galactose.Cerebrosides
Classification of Fats: B: Compound Lipids: Glycolipids: B: Are made up of certain glucose, galactose and a complex compound containing an amino sugar.Gangliosides
Classification of Fats: B: Compound Lipids: Are lipids combined with proteins. They are formed primarily in the liver and are found in cell and organelle membranes, mitochondria, and lysosomes. They are insoluble in water and are combined in protein complex for their transport and activity in aqueous medium. They contain cholesterol, neutral fat, and fatty acids.Lipoproteins
Classification of Fats: C: Are simple derivatives from fat digestion or other more complex products. They are fat substances produced from fats and fat compounds during digestive breakdown.Derived lipids
Classification of Fats: C: Derived lipids:1. Fatty acids 2. Glycerol 3. Steroids
Classification of Fats: C: Derived lipids: are the key refined fuel forms of fat that the cell burns for energy. They are the basic structural units of fat and may be saturated or unsaturated in nature.Fatty acids
Classification of Fats: C: Derived lipids: Sources of Fatty Acids:a. Saturated fats b. Monounsaturated fatty acids c. polyunsaturated fatty acids
Classification of Fats: C: Derived lipids: Sources of Fatty Acids: A: Are those into which no hydrogen can be added. Palmitic and stearic acids are two examples of such fatty acids. They are abundant in animal fats including beef.Saturated fats
Classification of Fats: C: Derived lipids: Sources of Fatty Acids: B: Are those in which two of the carbon atoms are joined by a double bond. This means that an atom can be added to each of the carbon atoms at a double bond. Oleic acid is the most abundant this. Olive and peanut oils are specially high in oleic acid, but most fats contain generous amounts of this fatty acid.Monounsaturated fatty acid
Classification of Fats: C: Derived lipids: Sources of Fatty Acids: C: are those in which two or more double bonds are present. Thus, each of four or more carbon atoms could take up a hydrogen atom. Linoleic acid has two double bonds and is the most common of the polyunsaturated acids. It is abundant in most vegetable oils.Polyunsaturated fatty acids
Classification of Fats: C: Derived lipids: is a water-soluble component of triglycerides and is inconvertible with carbohydrate. It comes out 10% of the fat. After it becomes broken off in digestion, it becomes available for the formation of glucose in the diet.Glycerol
Classification of Fats: C: Derived lipids: Are a class of fat-related substances that contain sterols. A main member of this group is cholesterol. It is a complex fat-like compound found practically in all body tissues, especially in the brain and nerve tissues, bile, blood, and the liver where most cholesterol is synthesized. Foods rich in cholesterol are egg yolk, organ meats, shellfish, and dairy fats. Other animal fat products including butter, cream, whole milk, whole milk cheese, ice cream, and meat contain small amounts.Steroids

Unlike other members of the fat family (saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated fats), trans fat, or trans-fatty acids are basically?artificial fats
A small amount of trans fats occurs naturally in?meat and dairy products
Trans fats are made by a chemical process called? Liquid vegetable oil (an otherwise healthy monounsaturated fat) is packed with hydrogen atoms and converted into a solid fat. This makes it a seemingly perfect fat for the food industry to work with since it has a high melting point and a creamy, smooth texture, and it is reusable in deep-fat frying.partial hydrogenation.
Partially hydrogenated fats, or trans fats, lengthen the ________. They also add a certain pleasing mouth-feel to all manner of processed foods, buttery crackers and popcorn, crispy French fries, crunchy fish sticks, creamy frostings, and melt-in-your mouth pies and pastries. All these foods owe those qualities to trans fats.Shelf life and Texture

These two guidelines should be followed to lower fat intake: 1:Don't deprive yourself of fatty foods. This will likely cause you to crave for more fat. Instead, eat fatty foods moderately.
