Polyunsaturated fats include safflower oil sunflower oil and corn oil.
Are unsaturated fats solid at room temperature.
Now imagine the links in a chain that bend move and flow.
Saturated fats in contrast are typically found in meat products and are solid at room temperature.
Fats that are tightly packed with no double bonds between the fatty acids are called saturated fats.
Monounsaturated fats are typically liquid at room temperature and include canola oil and olive oil.
Leaner animal products such as chicken breast or pork loin often have less saturated fat.
Sources of saturated fat.
Fats made up of saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature.
Two of the carbons are connected by a double bond and two of the hydrogens are missing.
This fatty acid is unsaturated.
There are some exceptions but most are solid at room temperature.
Foods that contain more saturated fat are usually solid at room temperature and are sometimes called solid fat.
Unsaturated fats are more likely found in vegetables as well as in fish.
They are liquid at room temperature.
Due to the decreased saturation with hydrogen bonds the structures are weaker and are therefore typically liquid oil at room temperature.
