No. A triglyceride is a fat or oil made up opf glycerol esterified with three long-chain fatty acids such as oleic or stearic. Because these esters so resemble hydrocarbons, they are hydrophobic--they shun water. They are insoluble in water. In the body, they are rendered soluble for digestion by bile acids, which function as detergents.
