Question:

How are edible fats and oils formed

Author: Marilyn Bob-Manuel 3ekt


Answer:

As they are esters they are formed from the condensation reaction of glycerol with three fatty acid molecules (carboxylic acids) each molecule of the alcohol condenses with 3 molecules of fatty acid (R1, R2,k R3 are long carbon chains which can be the same or different)
