Abstract

Lipids are a heterogenous group of hydrophobic compounds which have two properties in common: They are soluble in organic solvents and they have an important physiological role as structural components of living cells. Lipids have been further identified as “molecules, synthesized by biological systems which have as a major part of their structure long aliphatic hydrocarbon chains unbranched or branched, which may form carbocyclic rings and which may contain unsaturated linkages” (Davenport and Johnson, 1971).
