The chemical properties of phospholipids
Hydrolyzability: Phospholipids can undergo hydrolysis reactions under the action of acids, bases or enzymes. Under acidic conditions, hydrolysis is relatively slow, and the final products are fatty acids, glycerol, phosphoric acid and nitrogen-containing bases, etc. Under alkaline conditions, the hydrolysis rate is relatively fast, generating fatty acid salts (saponification), glycerol, phosphoric acid and nitrogen-containing bases. This property is utilized industrially to prepare soap and glycerol. Under the action of phospholipase, phospholipids can undergo specific hydrolysis. For example, phospholipase A₁ acts on the sn-1 ester bond of glycerophospholipids to generate hemolytic phospholipids and fatty acids.
Oxidizing property: Unsaturated fatty acids in phospholipids are prone to oxidation reactions, especially in the presence of factors such as high temperature, light, oxygen and metal ions. Oxidized phospholipids will produce some substances with unpleasant odors, leading to a decline in their quality and nutritional value. At the same time, they may also generate some harmful products to the human body.
Emulsifying property: Due to its amphiphilic structure, phospholipids have a strong emulsifying ability, enabling oil and water to form stable emulsions. In the food industry, the emulsifying property of phospholipids is often utilized to improve the texture and taste of food. For instance, adding phospholipids to chocolate can reduce its viscosity, making the chocolate more delicate and smooth.
