triglyceride (lipid, organic material, ... Materials (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Naturally occurring lipid found in plants and animals, triglyceride is a chemical compound in which three molecules of a fatty acid are united by oxygen to one molecule of glycerol. Triglycerides function as stores of energy and are the chief components in most animal and vegetable fats and oils. Triglycerides are named according to fatty acid components, e.g. stearin is the triglyceride of stearic acid.

Additional Notes: |
|
| Dutch ..... Lipide dat van nature voorkomt in planten en dieren. Triglyceride is een chemische verbinding waarin drie moleculen van een vetzuur door zuurstof tot één molecuul glycerol worden verbonden. Triglyceriden functioneren als energieopslag en zijn de hoofdbestanddelen van de meeste dierlijke en plantaardige vetten en oliën. Triglyceriden worden genoemd naar de vetzuurbestanddelen. Stearine is bijvoorbeeld het triglyceride van stearinezuur. |
