neutral  Tomás Cano Binder, BA, CT: Sí, en realidad así se produce, pero en realidad el texto inglés no dice eso, sino "glicerol de tres carbonos". A mi entender el autor (o el asker) se comió el importantísimo guión de "three-carbon glycerol".

agree  sugrass: Tratándose de triglicéridos (y no mono o diglicéridos) correcto; cada ácido graso forma una unión éster con cada -OH del glicerol (unido a su vez a cada C del glicerol)

  -> Gracias sugrass!
