Preferred Label : glycerides;
IUPAC definition : esters of glycerol (propane-1,2,3-triol) with fatty acids, widely distributed in nature.
They are by long-established custom subdivided into triglycerides, 1,2- or 1,3-diglycerides,
and 1- or 2-monoglycerides, according to the number and position of acyl groups (not,
as one might suppose, the number of glycerol residues). The recommended method for
naming individual glycerides is mono-, di- or tri- i O /i -acylglycerol, as appropriate.;
