Are fatty acids fats and oils water soluble?

Fatty acids are hydrophobic molecules and are insoluble in water. However, they can be incorporated into larger structures like triglycerides or phospholipids that can be both water-soluble and insoluble. Oils, which are liquid fats, tend to contain a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids, making them more fluid at room temperature compared to solid fats.
