The saturation level of a fatty acid refers to the number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon chain. A saturated fatty acid has all available carbon bonds filled with hydrogen atoms, making it solid at room temperature. Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds between carbon atoms, making them liquid at room temperature. Trans fatty acids are a type of unsaturated fatty acid with a specific arrangement of double bonds that can increase the saturation level, making them behave more like saturated fats.
