Gylcolipids are fatty acids compounded with CHO bond (sugar group), but no
N.
Derive lipids are substances derived from hydrolysis of lipids.
Fatty alcohol are large molecular wt. alcohols found in nature and combined
with fatty acids.
Nitrogen is prominent in biological compounds due to its reactivity with
carbon and its propensity to form chains in organic compounds.
Lipids are concentrated sources of energy (9.45 kcal/g) and provide means
whereby fat-soluble nutrients can be absorbed by the body.
Omega-3 fatty acids like DHA and EPA are added to many foods due to their
nutritive value. They are present naturally to the highest levels in fish oils.
