Glycerol + 3 Fatty Acids → Triglyceride + 3 Water
This equation represents the esterification reaction where:
* Glycerol is a three-carbon alcohol.
* Fatty acids are long chains of hydrocarbons with a carboxyl group at one end.
* Triglyceride is a molecule formed by the combination of one glycerol molecule and three fatty acid molecules.
* Water is released as a byproduct of the reaction.
