Is corn oil saturated or unsaturated fat?
Corn oil is mostly unsaturated. It contains about 13% saturated fatty acids.
What is saturated and unsaturated fat?
Saturated fat is usually animal fat such as fatty meat, pork, oily salmons while unsaturated fat is plant fat such as peanuts, sunflower oil,.....
Is cholesterol saturated fat or un-saturated fat?
yes unsaturated fat is healthy because it "kinks" in its structure compared to saturated fat (unhealthy) which has straight carbonyl bonds. Example of unsaturated fat is olive oil (any oil that is liquid at room temp. expect palm and coconut oil)
How do you analysis fat or oil?
An oil is a type of fat. Fats are divided into saturated and unsaturated. Generally, saturated fats come from animals and are solid at room temperature, and unsaturated fats come from plant sources and are liquid at room temperature. Oils are most often examples of unsaturated fats, such as canola oil.
What are unsaturated fats and saturated fats?
You have one or more double bonds between carbon atoms in unsaturated fat molecules. You have no such double bonds in the structure of saturated fat molecules. You have all the single bonds between the carbon atoms.
Why is it important to know whether a fat is saturted or unsaturated?
A saturated fat has more hydrogen atoms attached to the main fat molecule.Saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature (example--butter)Unsaturated fats tend to be liquid at room temperature (example--olive oil)

Can fats be oil at room temperature?
No, you have misunderstoof the definitions. An oil is a lipid that is liquid at room temperature and a fat is a lipid that is solid at room temperature, therefore by definition a fat cannot be an oil at room temperature.
What makes a fat saturated or unsaturated?

What type of fat is olive oil?
It's not a single type of fat; it contains both saturated and unsaturated fat. For reducing your saturated fat content, you could do better by using canola oil (which doesn't have as good a flavor).
What uis the difference between saturated fat and unsaturated fat?
Chemically, saturated fats have more hydrogen atoms on the fat molecules.Practically, saturated fats are solid at room temperature (butter, lard, coconut oil) while unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature (olive and other liquid vegetable oils).
Is palm oil saturated or unsaturated?
No oil is purely one or the other, they are all mixtures. Palm oil has about the same amount of saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids. Palm oil contains very little polyunsaturated fatty acids.
