Interpretation:
The equation for the hydrolysis of the given triacylglycerol by pancreatic lipase enzyme should be written.
Concept introduction:
Fatty acids are aliphatic mono-carboxylic acids that are mostly obtained from the hydrolysis of natural fats and oils. They have a general formula
Triacylglycerols may be composed of three identical fatty acid chains or from two or three different fatty acids.
Triacylglycerols on hydrolysis with water in the presence of acid, base or enzymes, it will split into glycerol and three fatty acids.
