How hydrolysis takes place with addition of water in fat?
Answers
Explanation:
Polymers are broken down into monomers in a process known as hydrolysis, which means “to split water,” a reaction in which a water molecule is used during the breakdown. ... This is what happens when amino acids are released from protein chains via hydrolysis.
Answer:
Like other esters, glycerides can be hydrolyzed readily. Partial hydrolysis of triglycerides will yield mono- and diglycerides and free fatty acids. When hydrolysis is carried to completion with water in the presence of an acid catalyst, the mono-, di-, and triglycerides will hydrolyze to yield glycerol and free fatty acids. With aqueous sodium hydroxide, glycerol and the sodium salts of the component fatty acids (soaps) are obtained. This process is also called saponification. In the digestive tracts of humans and animals and in bacteria, fats are hydrolyzed by enzymes (lipases). Lipolytic enzymes are present in some edible oil sources (i.e., palm fruit, coconut). Any residues of these lipolytic enzymes (present in some crude fats and oils) are deactivated by the elevated temperatures normally used in oil processing.
hope it helps u!!
