Lipids in Animal Nutrition Flashcards
contain a group of substances, insoluble in water but soluble in ether, chloroform and benzene which are referred to as lipids
plant and animal
how many percent of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen that fat contains?
77, 12 and 11
how many percent fat that animal body contains?
17-26 percent
functions of fats
° supply energy to the animal body
° provide essential fatty acids
° essential component of milk
° helps in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in the body.
° essential constituent of the body protoplasm
° nutrient of nervous metabolism
long chain organic acids
fatty acids
containing only single bonds
saturated
containing one or more double bonds
unsaturated
they are esters of fatty acids with trihydric alcohol glycerol
simple lipids
both have the same general structure and chemical properties but different physical characteristics
fats and oils
are ester of fatty acid with glycerol.
chemically fats
3 fatty acid
° linoleic
° linolenic
° arachidonic
capable of preventing the skin dermatitis caused by the deficiency of these acids in the chickens, pigs, calves and goats.
linoleic or arachidonic acid
chemical properties of the fats
° hydrolysis
° saponification number
° hydrogenation
° iodine number
° acetylation
° acetyl number
° acid number
° reichert-meissl number (R.M. Value)
° polenske number
known as saponification
hydrolysis
milligrams of potassium hydroxide required to saponify 1 gram of fat.
saponification number
it gives information about the number of unsaturated bond present in fats
hydrogenation
the percent of iodine absorbed by the fat or the grams of iodine absorbed by 100 grams of fat.
iodine number
the glycerides of fats containing hydroxylated fatty acids react with acetic anhydride.
acetylation
defined as the milligram of KOH required to combine with the acetic acid liberated by the saponin of one gram of acetylated fat
acetyl number
it is the milligrams of KOH required to neutralize the free fatty acids present in 1 gram of fat.
acid number
defined as the number of me. of decinormal alkali required to neutralize the steam volatile fatty acid from 5g of fat.
reichert-meissl number
number of milliliters of 0.1 N KOH required to neutralize the insoluble fatty acids obtained from 5 gram of fat.
polenske number
oxidation of unsaturated bonds in the glycerides of fat absorbs oxygen and form products, which polymerize to produce insoluble hard films.
Oxidation if unsaturated glycerides of fat
takes place at the carbon atoms adjacent to the double bond to form hydroperoxides
the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids
results in the development of a sweet, heavy taste and smell commonly known as ketonic rancidity
oxidation of saturated fatty acids
when unsaturated fats or butter are stored, they become rancid.
rancidity of fat
2 types Rancidity of Fat
° Hydrolytic Rancidity
° Oxidated Randicity
caused by the micro-organism in the fat
hydrolytic Rancidity
