Lipids Part 1: TAGs, Fatty Acids, and Terpenes

What's butter made of? What about olive oil? Well they're lipids, which are largely nonpolar substances. Why is one solid at room temperature and the other is liquid? What are trans fats and why are they bad for you? Let's find out all this and more!

    Terpenes are also used as an alternative to organic solvents that have relatively higher toxicity, like Xylenes. Citrisolv is probably the most common one used as an alternative solvent. It is a Terpene hydrocarbon, D-Limonene, and smells a bit like an orange flavored aerosol. But after smelling it for more than 10 minutes or so, it begins to become a rather "rich" concentrated type of odor and can make some people feel nauseated or start having a mild headache. Nevertheless, it's a much better alternative in terms of protecting the long-term health of your laboratory workers. Some procedures in clinical labs can't always get the same level of effectiveness with immunohistochemistry slide work by using D-Limonene based solvent, so o-Xylene is sometimes the only solvent that is able to work effectively for them. But it's at least worth a try to test out a D-Limonene just to see if it's feasible for using.

    So basically, the shape of the olive oil molecule prevents it from reaching the same low-energy state as butter molecules do. Could we use this in some way, to pull that energy out of the olive oil? This is the same question as zero-point energy, but at chemical scales instead of quantum scales.

  • @ProfessorDaveExplains

    it's about the geometry, trans double bonds keep the chain in a straight line so they pack better, cis double bonds create a kink and screw up the lattice, so they melt lower. so trans fats are bad because they stay solid to higher temperatures and cause blockage in blood vessels.
