    Lipids are insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents and are stored as a form of energy. They are digested in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine through the actions of lingual, gastric, and pancreatic lipases which break triglycerides down into diglycerides and free fatty acids. Bile and pancreatic juices emulsify lipids in the small intestine to allow absorption into the bloodstream where they are used for energy, stored as fat, or used to form other lipid-containing structures and compounds.

    • Lipids are
    • Insoluble in water
    • Soluble in organic
    solvents
    • Stored form of energy
    Fats and Oils
    • They are esters of fatty acid and glycerol, i.e. Triglyceride
    Digestion of Fats
    Mouth
    • Chewing of food
    • Lingual lipase – short and medium chain Triglycerides to
    Diglycerides and Free fatty acid
    Stomach

    • Churning and muscular contractions


    • Gastric Lipase -30 % of fat digestion
    • Triglycerides are broken down to Diglycerides
