a Numbers indicate the starting position of the double bond; the carboxylate carbon is in position 1. Triacylglycerols from the temperate Cuphea plant are similar in structure to those obtained from tropical coconut and palm oils. The Cuphea seeds contain a high percentage of medium-chain triacylglycerols. Draw the structure of trilaurin, a triacylglycerol with three laurate fatty acyl chains (see Table 8.1). For your answer, use the following guidelines: 1. Do not show the hydrogens for any secondary carbon atoms. 2. Do show the hydrogens for any primary carbons. 3. Do not abbreviate any functional groups. 4. Show the unionized form of all functional groups. Some Common Fatty Acids
