(functional group present)
Hydrolysis/ _________
saponification
hydrogenation and ______
oxidation
•reduce carbon-carbon double bonds to single bonds by treatment with hydrogen and a catalyst
Hydrogenation
Hydrogenation convert unsaturated liquid oils to _____
solids
Hydrogenation is the sources of ______ fatty acids
trans
trans fatty acids:
• raise cholesterol levels and increase the incidence of heart disease
•do not have the bend in their structure therefore, it is packed closely together in the same way that the saturated fatty acids do.
Saponification (_______)
hydrolysis
Triglycerides are hydrolyzed in the presence of an ____, a ___, or specific _____ (lipases
in the presence of an acid, base, specific enzymes (lipases)
most soaps are prepared through the hydrolysis of _____ using water under a high pressure and temperature
triglycerides
sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide is then used to convert the _____ to their ________ (soap molecules)
convert the fatty acids to their sodium salts (soap molecules):
hydrolysis of triglycerides ➡️ produces fatty acids ➡️ which react with a base to form soap molecules
OXIDATION
•fats and oils that are in contact with moist air at room temperature eventually undergo __________
oxidation and hydrolysis reactions ➡️ rancidity (characteristic disagreeable odor)
One cause of the odor is the release of _______ fatty acids by _____ of the ester bonds.
butter➡️ butyric, caprylic, and caprice acids
volatile fatty acids by hydrolysis
___________ are present in the air furnish lipases that catalyze this process.
Microorganisms 🦠
Hydrolytic rancidity can easily be prevented by ______ the fat or oil and keeping it in a ______
covering, refrigerator
