The lipid composition of plant-derived oils differ depending on the source. Some plant oils contain more saturated fat than unsaturated. These include palm oil, palm kernel oil and coconut oil. Other oils, such as sunflower and soybean oil contain mainly polyunsaturated fat and canola and olive oil is rich in mono-unsaturated oil.
Margarine is produced by partially hydrogenating the unsaturated fats, to make them more solid, so part of the health benefit of these oils is then lost.

What is a good source for unsaturated fat?
According to American Heart, some of the best sources of polyunsaturated fat can be found in plant sources such as sunflower, corn, safflower, nuts, soy, sesame, and seeds. Foods that contain high levels in polyunsaturated fats includes fish that contains plenty of fish naming herring, salmon, trout and mackerel. Many vegetable oils contain high polyunsaturated fats such as corn oil, soybean oil and safflower oil.
Fats and oils are examples of what?
Fats are classified as saturated, monounstaturated or polyunstaturated. Saturated fats are solid at room temperature. Animal products --meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products--and solid shortenings are the major sources of saturated fats. Tropical oils such as coconut oil and palm kernal oil are also rish in saturated fats. Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fates are liquid at room temperature. Polyunsaturated fats are found in vegetable oils such as corn oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil and cottonseed oil. High levels of monounsaturated fats are found in olive oil and canola oil.
What vegetable oils are high in saturated fats?
Coconut oil is high in saturated fat.
What is smoke point of fat?
Depends on the type of fat. Saturated fats like butter generally have low smoking points whereas polyunsaturated fats like sunflower oil have high.

Is safflower oil a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Not really. Both do contain saturated fats, but the primary components are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Olive oil, for example, is about three-quarters monounsaturated fat, with the remaining quarter divided about equally between saturated and polyunsaturated fat.
What nutrient does the vegetable oil has?

Which fats can be hardened that animals and vegetable oil contains?
Saturated fats, for both animal and vegetable
What is healthy oil?
