what enzyme digests vegetable oil
The substrate of gastric lipase is dietary triglycerides, which are fats composed of glycerol and three fatty acid chains. Gastric lipase works to break down these triglycerides into smaller components such as diglycerides, monoglycerides, and free fatty acids to aid in digestion.
When the body digests fats instead of carbohydrates, it primarily produces fatty acids and glycerol. Specifically, the breakdown of triglycerides results in free fatty acids, which can include saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Additionally, during prolonged fat metabolism, especially in low-carbohydrate conditions, ketone bodies such as acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate are formed, which can serve as an alternative energy source.

Triglycerides contain C, H, O.
95 percentage of the lipids in foods are triglycerides.

A blood test is used to measure triglycerides.
Triglycerides can be obtained from both vegetable and animal sources.
Triglycerides are commonly known as fats and oils. Chemically they are esters of glycerol.
