or slightly soluble in water but soluble in non-polar organic solvents. Lipids can be classified into four groups which are -fats‚ oils‚ and waxes‚ -compound lipids‚ -steroids‚ and -derived lipids. Various experiments are done on lipids. Some tests are for saturation‚ presence of certain compounds‚ or for the different chemical reactions that lipids undergo. Lipids may be composed of esters‚ amides‚ alcohols‚ cyclic‚ acyclic‚ or polycyclic structures‚ and may also be a combination of these
