Foods that contain more saturated fat are usually solid at room temperature and are sometimes called solid fat.
Are unsaturated fats solid at room temperature.
Unsaturated fats are more likely found in vegetables as well as in fish.
There are some exceptions but most are solid at room temperature.
Now imagine the links in a chain that bend move and flow.
You can also see that oleic acid is not saturated.
Fats made up of saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature.
Polyunsaturated fats include safflower oil sunflower oil and corn oil.
This fatty acid is unsaturated.
The chain links are similar to the loose bonds that make unsaturated fat fluid or liquid at room temperature like the oil on top of a salad dressing or in a can of tuna.
They are liquid at room temperature.
This type of unsaturated fat contains two or more double bonds in their structure.
Sources of saturated fat.
Fats that are tightly packed with no double bonds between the fatty acids are called saturated fats.
Two of the carbons are connected by a double bond and two of the hydrogens are missing.
Leaner animal products such as chicken breast or pork loin often have less saturated fat.
