There is no difference between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. If you meant saturated fatty acids and UNsaturated fatty acids, then the unsaturated ones are the ones with double (or, theoretically, triple) bonds in the carbon chain.
Butter and lard are composed of saturated fatty acids.
The saturated fatty acids have only single bonds between atom carbons; the chain is saturated with hydrogen atoms.
They are saturated compounds
Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds between carbon atoms and unsaturated.
Answer
This is because it contains more saturated fatty acids then unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids have a higher melting point then unsaturated fatty acids.
Fatty acids contain carboxyl groups. The functional group of fatty acids is -COOH. There are 2 types of fatty acids called saturated and non saturated.
Unsaturated fatty acids have double bond or triple bonds, whereas saturated fatty acids do not.
In saturated fatty acids are there only single bonds in the carbon chain.
