Consider a mixture of fat produced by esterification of three fatty acids (A, B

Question

Consider a mixture of fat produced by esterification of three fatty acids (A, B and C) to the glycerol. There will be triacylglycerol molecules containing various combinations of ABC and BBB. There will be isomeric forms of those with a chiral center. How many unique triacylglyceride isomers could be in this mixture? Using a simple shorthand notation (e.g. variations of 3-leJer combinations to indicate fatty acid and its position in the glycerol backbone), show all of these isomers. (Show all different shorthand notations)
