cithin’s give a smooth texture to products such as margarine, chocolates, and candies. Large amounts of sphingomyelins are found in the brain and nerve tissues as well as they form a protective myelin sheath that surrounds the nerves. Glycolipids are saponifiable complex lipids and are made up of sphingosine, fatty acids, and carbohydrate. Biodiesels are non-petroleum-based fuels which are replaced a diesel fuel. These are produced from vegetable oils primarily from soya bean. Lecithins and cephalins are glycerophospholipids that are found in egg yolks, wheat germ,
Essential nutrients
These are the organic compounds present in the food that provide nourishment essential for the development and growth of our body. Nutrients not only provide us with the required energy to carry out various biological processes but are also the building blocks for repair and growth in our bodies.
Vitamins
The vitamins are organic molecules required in low concentration for the proper functioning of the body. They cannot be generated in the organism and are taken into the body through the diet. The lack of proper vitamins results in diverse deficiency disorders. They are thus called essential nutrients. The important vitamins are vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin K, and vitamin E.
True/False Questions
- Lecithin’s give a smooth texture to products such as margarine, chocolates, and candies.
- Large amounts of sphingomyelins are found in the brain and nerve tissues as well as they form a protective myelin sheath that surrounds the nerves.
- Glycolipids are saponifiable complex lipids and are made up of sphingosine, fatty acids, and carbohydrate.
- Biodiesels are non-petroleum-based fuels which are replaced a diesel fuel. These are produced from vegetable oils primarily from soya bean.
- Lecithins and cephalins are glycerophospholipids that are found in egg yolks, wheat germ, and yeast.
- Lipids are a group of compounds that are oily or greasy in nature. They consist of alcohol generally glycerol attached to 3 fatty acids molecules.
- Fatty acids are long-chain carboxylic acids having a single carboxyl group at one end to which is attached long-chain hydrocarbon tail.
- Lipids can be saturated or unsaturated depending upon the degree of saturation in fatty acids.
- Saturated lipids: If carbon atoms in fatty acid are attached with single bonds it is called saturated fatty acid.
- Unsaturated lipids: If in the hydrocarbon chain, carbon atoms at one or more places are attached through double bonds it is called unsaturated lipids.
- Lipids have a high caloric value, generally insoluble in water.
- Lipids act as a heat insulator in the body.
- The melting and boiling point of lipids depends upon hydrocarbon chain length and degree of unsaturation of fatty acids.
- Unsaturated lipids generally exist in a liquid state whereas saturated lipids are mostly solids.
Lecithin’s give a smooth texture to products such as margarine, chocolates, and candies.
- It is true.
- Lecithin is a group of fatty substances that are yellow-brownish in color.
- They are amphiphilic in nature.
- They are generally a mixture of various phosphoglycerides and phospholipids.
- They are good emulsifiers, lubricants, and surfactants hence they are used as additives in chocolates, candies, doughs, and cooking sprays for coating, spreading, fermenting, and preventing sticking.
Large amounts of sphingomyelins are found in the brain and nerve tissues as well as they form a protective myelin sheath that surrounds the nerves.
Answer
- It is true
- Sphingomyelins are found in nervous tissue and the brain.
- They are absent in plants and microorganisms.
- Excessive sphingomyelins cause Niemann-Pick Disease
- Sphingomyelin is a compound lipid called as Phosphosphingosides. They don't consist of glycerol instead consist of nitrogenous base sphingosine, fatty acid, phosphoric acid, and choline.
Glycolipids are saponifiable complex lipids and are made up of sphingosine, fatty acids, and carbohydrate.
Answer:
- It is true
- Also called cerebrosides or glycosphingosides.
- Consists of sphingosine, fatty acid, glucose, or galactose unit as carbohydrate.
- Choline and phosphoric acid are absent.
- The Sphingosine-fatty acid portion is collectively called ceramide.
