FATTY ACIDS Carboxylic acids occur in many molecular forms. At first It must be recalled that if the majority of the […]
STEROIDS Steroids form an important group of compounds based on the fundamental saturated tetracyclic hydrocarbon : 1,2-cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene (sterane or gonane). […]
DICARBOXYLIC ACIDS Although the dicarboxylic acids do not occur in appreciable amounts as components of animal or vegetal lipids, they are in general […]
DIACYLGLYCEROLS These lipids (known also as diglycerides) are fatty acid diesters of glycerol and occur in two isomeric forms: R and R’ are […]
HALOGENATED FATTY ACIDS This page is intended as a comprehensive and rapid survey of fatty acids possessing carbonâhalogen covalent bonds, […]
FATTY ALCOHOLS Aliphatic alcohols occur naturally in free form (component of the cuticular lipids) but more usually in esterified (wax esters) or […]
STEROIDS Steroids form an important group of compounds based on the fundamental saturated tetracyclic hydrocarbon : 1,2-cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene (sterane or gonane). […]
HYDROCARBONS These compounds form the simplest form of lipids, they contain only carbon and hydrogen. They may be divided into aliphatic hydrocarbons with […]
FATTY ACIDS Carboxylic acids occur in many molecular forms. At first It must be recalled that if the majority of the […]
MONOACYLGLYCEROLS These lipids (known also as monoglycerides) are fatty acid monoesters of glycerol and thus, due to the orientation of that molecule, two […]
