HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -Triglycerides are formed by the condensation of one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acid. A condensation reaction between glycerol and a fatty acid (RCOOH) forms an ester bond.

Detailed explanation-2: -The initial step in phospholipid synthesis is the condensation of two molecules of fatty acyl coenzyme A (CoA) with glycerol phosphate to make phosphatidic acid (Fig. 4–4).

Detailed explanation-3: -Most fats and oils are formed by a condensation reaction (esterification reaction) between a single molecule of glycerol and three molecules of fatty acids, three molecules of water is also made in this reaction. Fats and oils formed in this process are called triglycerides.
