What is the difference between a fat and a wax?

Chemically, a wax is a type of lipid that may contain a wide variety of long-chain alkanes, esters, polyesters and hydroxy esters of long-chain primary alcohols and fatty acids. They are usually distinguished from fats by the lack of triglyceride esters of glycerin (propan-1,2,3-triol) and three fatty acids.Fats (and oils) are triglycerides (or triacylglycerols): they consist of glycerol combined with three fatty acid molecules. The fatty acids are linked to the glycerol by ester links.Waxes are esters of an alcohol other than glycerol and a single long chain acid.See related links for more information.
