is stored in the adipose(fatty) tissue. . Chemical composition of lipids Fat is a complex molecule constituting a mixture of fatty acids and an alcohol, generally glycerol. Like carbohydrates, it malnourished children.
Either fresh milk or skimmed milk can be used for preparing the formula. Sugar and vegetable oil are added to increase the energy content. In older children, an entirely liquid diet is not necessary as they can accept solid foods. A mixed cereal-based diet can be given with added oil to increase energy density.

Classification of fats Fats are classified into categories as follows: I. On the basis of chemical composition II. On the basis of fatty acids III. On the basis of requirement IV.
On the basis of sources . . On the basis of chemical composition Fats can be classified into main groups as follows: ) Simple lipids These are esters of fatty acids and glycerol. They are also called as neutral fats or triglycerides.
These neutral fats make up - % of food and body fats. (e.g) fats and oils contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, but it differs from a carbohydrate in that it contains more carbon and hydrogen and less oxygen. When oxidized, it gives nine kilocalories. A molecule of fat consists of three molecules of fatty acids and one molecule of glycerol.
