Detailed explanation-1: -The neutral or natural fat is a lipid made of glycerol and three fatty acids. These three fatty acids are attached to the glycerol backbone with the help of an ester bond.
Detailed explanation-2: -Neutral fats (triglycerides) are composed of fatty acid hydrocarbon chains bonded to a single glycerol molecule. Fatty acids consist of long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxyl group while glycerol consists of 3 carbons and 3 hydroxyl groups.
Detailed explanation-3: -In a fat molecule, the fatty acids are attached to each of the three carbons of the glycerol molecule with an ester bond through the oxygen atom.
Detailed explanation-4: -Triglycerides. A fat molecule is a type of lipid that consists of three fatty acid molecules connected to a 3 carbon glycerol backbone, as shown on the right. The three fatty acids can be different from one another.
