Key Equations

$$T_m \propto \text{chain length}, \qquad T_m \propto \frac{1}{\text{degree of unsaturation}}$$
$$\text{Triacylglycerol} + 3\,\text{NaOH} \longrightarrow \text{Glycerol} + 3\,\text{R--COO}^{-}\text{Na}^{+} \;(\text{soap})$$
$$\text{C}_{51}\text{H}_{98}\text{O}_{6} + 72.5\,\text{O}_2 \longrightarrow 51\,\text{CO}_2 + 49\,\text{H}_2\text{O}$$
$$\text{Cholesterol: } \text{C}_{27}\text{H}_{46}\text{O} \quad (MW \approx 386.65 \text{ g/mol})$$

Equations are rendered with MathJax in the PDF with professional LaTeX typesetting.
