What is Triglyceride used for?
Most plant and animal fats and oils are triglycerides, composed of three fatty acids chemically bonded to glycerin or glycerol molecule. The five most abundant fatty acids are palmitic, stearic, oleic and linoleic acids. Individual plant triglycerides contain fatty acids of varying composition. Some contain more long chain fatty acids and some contain more short chain fatty acids. The amount and type of fatty acids found in plant fats are used to characterize the plant oil. For example, coconut oil is known to contain a high proportion of medium chain length fatty acids (MCTs or medium chain triglycerides).
