Glycerol plus Fatty acid-monoglyceride plus water forms through condensation reaction a Triglyceride
Dehydration of fatty acids [APEX]
dehydratation synthesis
A fat molecule forms when glycerol joins with three fatty acids as three water molecule are removed during dehydration reaction.
Three water molecules will be removed to form a triglyceride composed of three fatty acid chains and one glycerol molecule. One molecule of water is removed for each bond between a fatty acid and the glycerol molecule, for a total of three water molecules removed.
They are the building blocks of fats and oils. Three molecules of fatty acids are attached to one molecule of the glycerol. Saturated fatty acids give you fats. Polyunsaturated fatty acids give you oils.
Glycerol is another name of Glycerin, (1,2,3-propatriol).
The elements in a fat molecule is three fatty acid molecules wrapped around glycerol. The hydrocarbon chain is hydrophobic and will not dissolve in water.

Glycerol and 3 Fatty acids
Three water molecules will be removed to form a triglyceride composed of three fatty acid chains and one glycerol molecule. One molecule of water is removed for each bond between a fatty acid and the glycerol molecule, for a total of three water molecules removed.
Lipase
Three fatty acids and a glycerol molecule make a single tryglyceride and 3 water molecules.
According to scientists, fats are compounds because they include a combination of fatty acids and glycerol. Another term referring to fats is lipids.
Glycerol has 3 OH groups and a fatty acid has one carboxyl group. One mole of Glycerol reacts with 3 moles of fatty acid to give 3 moles of water and one of the glycerine tri-ester - more commonly called a triglceride.
Hydrolysis is the process of breaking down a compound with the action of water. The products of the acid catalyzed hydrolysis of a fat are fatty acids and glycerol.
1 glycerol + 3 fatty acids = 1 lipid + 1 water
A lipase is a water-soluble enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ester chemical bonds in water-insoluble lipid substrates.The products of the hydrolysis of an ester are, most generically, an alcohol and an acid. In the particular case of lipases, the alcohol is probably glycerol (or some derivative of glycerol), and the acid is most likely a fatty acid.
