Question

hydrolysis of lipid yields??

Answer 1

We know that, Hydrolysis is the breakdown of a substance by the addition of water.

Fats and oils are hydrolyzed by moisture to yield glycerol and 3 fatty acids.

Chemically fats are esters, so they are liable to hydrolysis.

This reaction is catalyzed by lipase enzyme or can occur via non-enzymatic hydrolysis.

Partial hydrolysis of triglycerides will yield mono- and di- glycerides and free fatty acids.
