Choline glycerophospholipids The main component of this group is the diacyl derivative: 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphorylcholine or phosphatidylcholine or lecithin. R1 and R2 are identical or […]
GLYCOLIPIDS BASED ON GLYCEROL These lipids consist of a mono- or oligosaccharide moiety linked glycosidically to the hydroxyl group of glycerol which may […]
MONOACYLGLYCEROLS These lipids (known also as monoglycerides) are fatty acid monoesters of glycerol and thus, due to the orientation of that molecule, two […]
GLYCOSIDES OF FATTY ALCOHOLS These alkyl glycosides are composed of a glycosyl moiety (one or several units) […]
DICARBOXYLIC ACIDS Although the dicarboxylic acids do not occur in appreciable amounts as components of animal or vegetal lipids, they are in general […]
ALKYL KETONES Ketones with various chain lengths are widely found in nature where they contribute to the flavors and odors in animals […]
PHENOLIC LIPIDS There are essentially two types of phenolic lipid, those in which the side-chain is isoprenoid, as in a-tocopherol, and […]
