13. Phospholipids are ________ in the food industry. emulsifiers
14. What is the best know phospholipid? lecithin
15. Food sources of phospholipids: eggs, liver, soybeans, wheat
germ and peanuts
16. What do phospholipids do? part of the cell membrane, sus-
pend fat in the blood/body flu-
ids and help vitamins and hor-
mones pass in/out of cells.
17. First step to lipid digestion in the small intestine. Fat enters the small intestine
and triggers cholecystokinin
(CCK) to be released.
18. Second step to lipid digestion in the small intestine. CCK signals the gallbladder to
release bile, which acts as an
emulsifier.
19. Third step to lipid digestion in the small intestine. Pancreatic lipase (enzyme) di-
gests the fat.
20. What happens to the bile after lipid digestion in the It is reabsorbed into the blood
small intestine. and recycles to the liver.
21. Essential Fatty Acids Omega-6 and Omega-3
22. Omega-6 Essential Fatty Acid linoleic acid
23. Omega-3 Essential Fatty Acid linolenic acid
24. Obtain essential fatty acids directly from food such vegetable oils, seeds, nuts and
as: fish/seafood
