Experiment #12: QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS OF LIPIDS Flashcards
Acrolein test
Test for the presence of glycerol in a molecule
A strong acid and a strong dehydrating reagent
Potassium bisulfate
When potassium bisulfate is heated with fat
Hydrolysis occurs
The glycerol produced is dehydrated to form
Acrolein
General formula of Acrolein
CH2=CHCHO
The reaction between ______ and _________ results in _________
Glycerol, potassium hydrogen sulfate (potassium bisulfate), acrolein formation
The acrolein formation is characterized physically by the release of
Pungent smell
Has alcohol functional group
Glycerol
Also called glycerine
Glycerol
Characteristics of glycerol
Colorless, odorless, viscous liquid, sweet tasting, non-toxic
Glycerol backbone found in lipids
Glycerides
Glycerol( positive control)
Positive with glycerol
Coconut oil
Positive with glycerol
Canola oil
Positive with glycerol
Butter
Positive with glycerol
Lard
Positive with glycerol
Test to determine the unsaturation of the oil (with atleast one double bond)
Bromine test
2 types of lipids
Saturated & Unsaturated
Saturated
Solid at room temperature
Liquid at room temperature
Unsaturated
Higher is the degree of unsaturation
Unsaturated
Lower is the temperature to liquefy it
Unsaturated
______ can react with_____ like_____ or _____ due to the presence of
Unsaturated fatty acid, halogens, bromine, iodine, double bonds
