The kind of fat in which the molecules are arranged so that every valence electron in each of the atoms making up the molecule is used to form a bond with one electron from another atom (called a single bond). Saturated fats are usually solid at room temperature and are found in butter, red meat, poultry, and milk products.

In civil engineering, it it also used to describe the state of a granular material or any other material that contains pore spaces, when these pore spaces are filled with water.

The word means "to fill up to capacity",

but in foodstuffs it refers to adding hydrogen atoms to fat molecules,

which causes them to be less flexible, or more likely to be solids at room temperature.
