No. Fatty acids become esterified after interaction with an alcohol.
Essentially, there is no difference. Some prefer to use the term non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) compared with free fatty acid (FFA) because many find the term FFA confusing with respect to fatty acids that circulate within the bloodstream which are 'bound' to albumin, but not esterified to another chemical moiety compared with intracellular fatty acids that are not 'bound' to albumin which are also not esterified to another chemical moiety.
Biodiesel is composed of Fatty Acids with Methyl, Propyl or Ethyl Esters. Some common forms of biodiesel are Methyl Linoleate and Ethyl Stearate. ==Methyl Linoleate== Chemical Formula: C19H34O2 ==Ethyl Stearate== Chemical Formula: C20H40O2

The product of glycerol and fatty acids is triglycerides, which are a type of lipid molecule composed of three fatty acids esterified to a glycerol molecule. Triglycerides are an important energy storage form in the body and are found in adipose tissue and circulating in the bloodstream.
Fats are esters of fatty acids and glycerin (propane-1,2,3-triol).
It is necessary to give the name of this compound for an answer.
Esterified astaxanthin is a form of astaxanthin that has been modified by adding fatty acids to improve its stability and bioavailability. This type of astaxanthin is often used in supplements due to its enhanced absorption in the body compared to regular astaxanthin.
Biodisel is obtained from vegetal or animal fats by transformation in fatty acids esters.
The compound that forms the backbone of triglycerides is glycerol. Glycerol molecules are esterified with three fatty acids to form triglycerides through dehydration synthesis.
The process used to combine fatty acids and glycerol is called esterification. During esterification, a chemical reaction forms ester bonds between the fatty acids and glycerol molecules, resulting in the formation of triglycerides.
Biodiesel does not have a regular molecular formula because it is a mixture of different molecules. It is prepared from the esterification of fatty acids with methanol, and a typical fatty acid is stearic acid, CH3(CH2)16COOH. The ester would therefore be CH3(CH2)16COOCH3, or C19H39O2.
