Five major families make up the glycerol ester lipids: triacylglycerols (TAGs), diacylglycerols (DAGs), monoacylglycerols (MAGs), and plant derived glycosyl mono- and diacylglycerols (MGDG and DGDG). Each of these lipid groups have very important roles in lipid biochemistry that have warranted a considerable number of studies by electrospray and tandem mass spectrometry. In addition the triacylglycerols are plant and animal “oil products” that have considerable economic value.
