Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Triacylglycerol is the major form of dietary lipid in fats and oils, whether derived from plants or animals. Triacylglycerol is composed of three fatty acids esterified to a glycerol molecule (Figure 4).
Detailed explanation-2: -Triglycerides are esters in which three molecules of one or more different fatty acids are linked to the alcohol glycerol; they are named according to the fatty acid components; e.g., tristearin contains three molecules of stearic acid, and oleodistearin, one of oleic acid and two of stearic acid.
Detailed explanation-3: -Triglycerides, or fats, are formed from the combination of glycerol and three fatty acid molecules. Triglycerides are formed through dehydration reactions.
