Triglycerides are lipid compounds composed of a glycerol esterified to 3 fatty acid chains of varying length and composition. These fatty acid chains can be saturated or unsaturated, and the chemical composition of each chain is different. Each chain consists of carbon and hydrogen atoms with varying single or double-bonded chains, depending on the degree of saturation or unsaturation. Triglycerides are formed of mixed chains, and the structural comparison between the chains is heterogenous in nature.

Triglyceride is the most abundant dietary lipid compound found throughout the diet and is the method with which energy is stored in the body. Initial digestion of dietary triglycerides takes place with pancreatic lipase, which hydrolyzes one fatty acid chain at a time to form 2 free fatty acid (FFA) chains and one 2-monoglyceride (2MG) compound per each triglyceride. Bile salts are...
