The most common members of the 'lipid family' are triglycerides: plant oil and fats, being 3-fold esters of three molecules of alkanoic (or alk-ene-oic) acids with one molecule of glycerol (1,2,3-propan-tri-ol). When hydrolysed these reactant are freed by de-esterfication called hydrolysis.
(Other members of the lipid group are cholesterols, waxes, detergents are differently constituted, but most of them can also be hydrolysed).
