Diacilglicerolo
Sign in to saveAlso known as diacylglycerol, diacylglyceride
A diglyceride, or diacylglycerol (DAG), is a glyceride consisting of two fatty acid chains covalently bonded to a glycerol molecule through ester linkages. Two possible forms exist, 1,2-diacylglycerols and 1,3-diacylglycerols. Diglycerides are natural components of food fats, though minor in comparison to triglycerides. DAGs can act as surfactants and are commonly used as emulsifiers in processed foods. DAG-enriched oil (particularly 1,3-DAG) has been investigated extensively as a fat substitute due to its ability to suppress the accumulation of body fat; with total annual sales of approximate

I diacilgliceroli (o DAG o digliceridi) sono una particolare classe di gliceridi la cui molecola è costituita da due catene di acidi grassi addizionate tramite esterificazione ad una molecola di glicerolo. A seconda della posizione dei legami estere sulla molecola di glicerolo, i digliceridi possono essere suddivisi in due gruppi: 1,2-diacilgliceroli e 1,3-diacilgliceroli. * Formula di struttura generale di un 1,2-diacilglicerolo
