Typically, it is not a polymer, just a large molecule comprises glycol(the back bone) and 3 branches of fatty acids. However, during storage for long time, or heating, it can react to form radicals. These radicals initiate a polymerization reaction. Therefore, deep fried oil contains a lot of polymeric molecules.

What is monomer polymer and dimer for lipids?

In terms of lipids, a monomer is a single building block unit, such as a fatty acid. A polymer is a larger molecule made up of repeating monomer units, like a triglyceride. A dimer is a molecule formed by the combination of two smaller molecules, as seen in some lipid modifications.


What is an example of a lipid monomer?

An example of a lipid monomer is a fatty acid, which consists of a hydrocarbon chain and a carboxyl group. Fatty acids can join together through dehydration reactions to form larger lipid molecules like triglycerides and phospholipids.
