Fats and oils Overview In this section, study the chemistry and structure of edible fats and oils, and learn how the difference in melting points of fats and oils can be explained in terms of structural differences.

a) Edible fats and oils Learning intention Learn about the characteristic properties of fats and oils and study how they are formed by a condensation reaction of glycerol with fatty acids.

Fats in the Diet Fats provide more energy per gram than carbohydrates. Fat molecules are insoluble, and tend to group together and form a large droplet. This is how fat is stored in the adipose tissue. We store our extra energy as fat. The type of fat we eat is important. Animal fats contain important fat soluble vitamins. Oils, are thought to be healthier than solid fats, as they are less likely to be deposited inside our arteries. However, there is an ongoing debate about which fats are better for us. Polyunsaturated fats are considered to be less potentially harmful to the heart.

Fats and oils Naturally occuring Animal fat Vegetable oil Marine oil lard suet sunflower oil coconut oil cod liver oil whale oil

Fats and Oils 50% of your brain is fat. Fats and oils are a range of substances all based on glycerol, propane-1,2,3-triol. Natural fats and oils are a mixture of triglyceride compounds. Each OH group can combine chemically with one carboxylic acid Molecule. The resulting molecules are fats and oils. They are described as triglycerides. The hydrocarbon chain in each can be from 4 to 24 C’s long. The C’s can be single bonded (saturated) or double bonded (unsaturated). Glycerol propane-1,2,3-triol a trihydric acid

Fats and oils Fats and oils are built from an alcohol with three -O-H groups. glycerol Systematic name is propane-1,2,3-triol

Fatty Acids Humans fatty acids C17H35COOH CH3(CH2)16COOH Stearic Acid (suet, animal fat) Saturated C17H33COOH CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7COOH Oleic Acid (olive oil) Unsaturated Octadec-9-enoic acid Humans fatty acids Oleic acid 47% Palmitic acid 24% Linoleic acid 10% Stearic acid 8%

Fats and oils The other components of fat molecules are carboxylic acids such as Stearic acid Systematic name is octadecanoic acid

Fats and oils Fats and oils are ESTERS of glycerol and long chain carboxylic acids

Fats and oils Removal of water in the condensation reaction gives - The molecular formula shown above suggests that the fat molecule is shaped like an E, but the molecule is actually shaped more like this:

Unsaturation in fats and oils Using a plastic pipette, add five drops of olive oil to 5 cm3 of hexane in a conical flask. 2. Use a burette filled with a dilute solution of bromine water (0.02 mol dm–3) (Harmful and irritant). Read the burette.

Unsaturation in fats and oils 3. Run the bromine water slowly into the oil solution. Shake vigorously after each addition. The yellow colour of bromine disappears as bromine reacts with the oil. Continue adding bromine water to produce a permanent yellow colour. 4. Read the burette. Subtract to find the volume of bromine water needed in the titration. 5. Repeat the experiment with: five drops of cooking oil (vegetable) and five drops of cooking oil (animal).

Fats and Oils The degree of saturation in a fat or oil can be determined by the Iodine Number. (bromine can also be used). The iodine reacts with the C=C bonds, so the greater the iodine number, the greater the number of double bonds. Fat Av Iodine No Butter 40 Beef Fat 45 Lard 50 Olive Oil 80 Peanut Oil 100 Soya Bean Oil 180 Solid fats – butter, beef fat & lard have low iodine numbers because they are more saturated than the unsaturated oils. Margarine is made from vegetable oils, butter from animal fats. One reason why margarine spreads better! Omega 3 fatty acids make up a large % of your brain’s fat.

In practice both fats and oils are mixtures of esters containing both saturated and unsaturated compounds. Beef Fat Olive oil In general oils have a higher proportion of unsaturated molecules.

b) The melting point of fats and oils Learning intention Learn how differences in structure of fats and oils lead to differences in strength of intermolecular forces, and therefore to differences in melting points. .

Fats and oils Fats are mainly built from carboxylic acids with C-C single bonds. Stearic acid in beef fat Oils have some C=C bonds in the carboxylic acids from which they are made. Oleic acid in olive oil

Fats and oils Oil Double bonds in oil make the molecule less compact. Less tightly packed molecules make oils liquid. Fat Fat molecules pack together more tightly, making fats solid at room temperature.

Fat Fat molecules pack together tightly, making fats solid at room temperature. Double bonds in oil make the molecule less compact. Oil Less tightly packed molecules make oils liquid because the bonds between molecules are weaker.

Hydrogenation The addition of hydrogen to an unsaturated oil will ‘harden’ the oil. Increase it’s m.p. The hydrogen is added across the double bond. Used with margarine, otherwise margarine would be a liquid when taken out of the fridge. http://www.educationscotland.gov.uk/highersciences/chemistry/animations/oilsfats.asp

Structures of Fats and Oils Hydrolysis of a fat or oil produces a molecule of glycerol (alcohol) for every 3 carboxylic acid molecules. The carboxylic acids are usually called long chain fatty acids. Most fats and oils are, in fact, esters of propane-1,2,3-triol, sometimes called, triesters. R 1,R 2,R 3 are long carbon chains, which can be the same or different Hydrolysis Glycerol + Fatty Acids Glycerol part Fatty acid part Triesters.
