Both are medium to long chain fatty acids. Fats whether from animal or plant origins are more saturated than oils, resulting in a higher melting point. Animal fats and oils usually contain some cholesterol, vegetable fats and oils never contain any cholesterol.Fatty acids are hydrocarbon chain molecules with a carboxylic acid group replacing the hydrogen atom at one end of the molecule.
yes, its made from animal fat. I'm pretty sure they melt it until its an oil, and then use it at like McDonald's. :P
Glycerol is produced from the breakdown of lipids which are fats or oils
Glycerol
Lipase cleaves fats into small molecules, glycerol and fatty acids.
Animal fats and plant oils are made up of glycerol and fatty acids.
Fats
Fats are esters of fatty acids. they are made up of fatty acids and glycerol.
Yes glycerol is saturated in hydrogen. Glycerol is found in both unsaturated and saturated fats and can bond with fatty acids.
Glycerin/ glycerol can be produced from animal fats, synthesised or by fermentation of sugars.
Animal fat is made of fats that are solid at room temperature. It is mainly made of glycerol and fatty acids.

Glycerol is found in all fats.

glycerol
Unreacted fatty acids are rare in nature, but most fats and oils are triglycerides of fatty acids, and the acids can be recovered by hydrolyzing the triglycerides. This process is sometimes called "saponification" when the hydrolysis is aided by strong alkali, as in that instance the primary products (aside from glycerin) are salts of fatty acids, which are often good soaps.
Vegetable oil and animal fats are are triesters formed from reactions involving glycerol (propane-1,2,3-triol) and long-chain carboxylic acids.
