List the Roles of fat in the diet

  

Answers


Faith
Source of energy
Fat is a concentrated source of energy. Each gram of fat provides 9 kilocalories of
energy.

Satiety value
Fat floats in the stomach and tends to leave the stomach relatively slowly. This delay
in emptying time of the stomach helps to delay the onset of hunger pangs and
contributes to a feeling of satiety after a meal.

Carriers of fat soluble vitamins
Dietary fats serve as carriers of vitamins A, D, E and K, which are soluble in fat.
Therefore, eliminating fat from the diet, leads to reduced intake of these vitamins.

Palatability
Many substances that are responsible for the flavour and aromas of food are fat
soluble.
Fats contribute to the palatability of food by contributing to its tenderness and flavour.
