Definition Lipid & it's Classification
Definition: Lipids are a heterogeneous group of compounds, including fats, oils, steroids, wax and related compounds, which are related more by their physical than by their chemical properties.
Lipids may be regarded as organic substances relatively insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents (alcohol, ether etc.), actually or potentially related to fatty acids and utilized by the living cells.
CLASSIFICATION:
Lipids may be regarded as organic substances relatively insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents (alcohol, ether etc.), actually or potentially related to fatty acids and utilized by the living cells.
CLASSIFICATION:
Lipids are broadly classified into simple, complex and derived, which are further subdivided into different groups.
1. simple lipid: these are esters of fatty acids with various alcohols.
(a)fats and oils: esters of fatty acids with glycerol. The difference between fat and oil is only physical. Thus, oil is a liquid while fat is a solid at room temperature.
(b)waxes: esters of fatty acids(usually long chain)with alcohols other than glycerol. these alcohols may be aliphatic or alicyclic. cetyl alcohol is most commonly found in waxes.
2. compound/complex lipid: esters of fatty acids containing groups in addition to an alcohol and a fatty acid.
(a)phospholipids: lipids containing, in addition to fatty acids and an alcohol, a phosphoric acid residue.they frequently have nitrogen containing bases and other substituents, e.g. in 'glycerophopholipids' the alcohol is glycerol and in 'sphingo -phospholipids' the alcohol is sphingosine.
(b)glycolipids: lipids containing a fatty acid, sphingosine, carbohydrate and nitrogenous base. glycerol and phosphate are absent e.g.cerebrosides, gangliosides.
(c)lipoproteins: macromolecular complexes of lipids with protein.
(d)other complex lipids : lipids such as sulfolipids, and amino lipids.
3.precursor and derived lipids: these include fatty acids ,glycerol, steroids, other alcohols, fatty aldehydes, and ketone bodies, hydrocarbones, lipid-soluble vitamins and hormones.

In the college the students can complete there Honors and Masters degree.
The subject s they can study are –
(a) Food and Nutrition
(b) Home Management & Housing
(c) Child Development & Social Relationship
(d) Clothing & textile
(e) Related art.
(a) Food & Nutrition: In this subject girls are thought on the subjects as Relation between Health and Nutrition, Food Science, Food Management and Reservation, Food Technology, Mass-Nutrition, Requirement of man Nutrition, Dietetics subject in theoretically and practically .
(b) Home Management & Housing: In this subject the main aim is to teach the students about Management knowledge, Use of Technology, Housing Idea, the Interior Decoration, Human Resource Management and National Economic Development.
(c) Child Development & Social Relationship: In the subject Students are use to learn about the Child Development as the birth of child, expecting environments, child Problems and their solution , the responsibilities of the family for a child and making a good personality of a child and making a great nation. They learn the method of child education and their uses.
(d) Clothing & textile: In the subject Students study on the fiber source, characteristic of fibers, Selection of fiber, clothing, cutting and coloring. This is a perfect subject to contribute in the garments sector as our country needed.
(e) Related Art: This is mainly a practical subject where girls learn developing design, designing essence, weaving, printing on pot, making jute products what will help them to be a fashion designer or so on.
