WHAT DOES FAT-SOLUBLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Lipophilicity

Lipophilicity, refers to the ability of a chemical compound to dissolve in fats, oils, lipids, and non-polar solvents such as hexane or toluene. These non-polar solvents are themselves lipophilic — the axiom that like dissolves like generally holds true. Thus lipophilic substances tend to dissolve in other lipophilic substances, while hydrophilic substances tend to dissolve in water and other hydrophilic substances. Lipophilicity, hydrophobicity, and non-polarity can describe the same tendency towards participation in the London dispersion force as the terms are often used interchangeably. However, the terms "lipophilic" and "hydrophobic" are not synonymous, as can be seen with silicones and fluorocarbons, which are hydrophobic but not lipophilic.

Definition of fat-soluble in the English dictionary

The definition of fat-soluble in the dictionary is soluble in nonpolar substances, such as ether, chloroform, and oils. Fat-soluble compounds are often insoluble in water.
