- Lipids are broadly
defined as any fat-soluble (lipophilic), naturally-occurring molecule,
such as fats, oils, waxes, cholesterol, sterols, fat- soluble vitamins
(such as vitamins A, D, E and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides,
phospholipids, and others.
- Lipids also
encompass molecules such as fatty acids and their derivatives, as well
as other sterol-containing metabolites such as cholesterol.
- Lipids may be
broadly defined as hydrophobic or amphiphilic small molecules that
originate entirely or in part from two distinct types of biochemical
subunits or "building blocks": ketoacyl and isoprene groups.
- Lipids are defined
by their solubility. They are molecules that are insoluble in polar
solvents (such as water), but will dissolve in non-polar
solvents.
- Each type of
lipid has a slightly different structure, but they all possess a large
number of C - H bonds which makes them a primarily non-polar group of
molecules.
- Lipids
contain a lot of calories in a small space. Since Lipids are generally
insoluble in polar substances such as water, they are stored in special
ways in body's cells. Lipids can also function as structural components
in the cell.
- The main biological
functions of lipids include energy storage, acting as structural
comsponents of cell membranes, and participating as important signaling
molecules.
- Lipids are a diverse
group of compounds that have many key biological functions, such as
acting as structural components of cell membranes, serving as energy
storage sources and participating in signaling pathways.
- Lipids play diverse
and important roles in nutrition and health.
- Lipids are
also used as hormones that play roles in regulating our Physiology
(metabolism). Most lipids are composed of some sort of fatty acid
arrangement. The fatty acids are composed of methylene (or Methyl)
groups, and are not water soluble.
- The major concern
for lipid technology is to develop new lipid products and new processes.
The research on lipid processing has primarily been focused on lipid
modification, especially using enzyme technology.
- Lipid product
development includes structured lipids, cocoa butter equivalents, human
milkfat substitutes, margarine fats, diacylglycerols, monoacylglycerols,
fish oil products, dairy lipids, conjugated linoleic acid, structured
phospholipids, lipid-based antioxidants, etc.
- In recent years,
evidence has emerged showing that lipid signaling is a vital part of the
cell signaling. Lipid signaling may occur via activation of GPCR's or
nuclear receptors, and members of several different lipid categories
have been identified as signaling molecules and cellular
messengers
- The lipid management
market is the single largest pharmaceutical segment and continues to
grow at double-digit rates.
- Korean ingredient
supplier is to market a novel lipid developed by Israeli firm Enzymotec
to dairy and infant formula makers.
- Netherlands-based
Lipid Nutrition has introduced a 95 per cent concentration of its
Clarinol brand conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), said to be the highest
form of CLA available to the nutraceutical market.
