Waxes Esters of long-chain fatty acids with long-chain alcohols. Commonly found in nature. Spermaceti is found in the head of the sperm whale. Beeswax is a mixture of waxes,hydrocarbons,and alcohols that bees used to make their honeycomb. Carnauba wax is a mixture of waxes of high molecular weights 0 CHa(CH)O- (CH2)24CH3 CH3(CH2)23O- (CH2)26CH3 a component of beeswax a component of carnauba wax Chapter 25

Fatty Acids Unbranched carboxylic acids with 12-20 carbons. Most contain an even number of carbons because they are built from acetic acid units. Melting points increase with increasing molecular weights. Unsaturation greatly lowers the melting point. Chapter 25 5

Glycerides Fatty acid esters of the triol glycerol Tryglycerides are the most common glycerides and they are used for long-term energy storage in plants and animals. Fats Solid at room temperature. Most are derived from mammals. ·Oils Liquid at room temperature. Most are derived from plants or cold-blooded animals. Chapter 25 6
