Hydrogenation. This involved the forcing of hydrogen molecules into an unsaturated fat molecule which then causes it to be "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. This breaks the double bonds which gave the fat its bent shape and as a result hydrogenated fats are not chemically equivalent to natural saturated fats.
This is why trans fat has been found to be much worse than natural saturated fat.
A saturated fat is one where all carbon-carbon bonds are single. Unsaturated bonds feature double or triple bonds. For a lipid to become unsaturated, at least one carbon-carbon bond must be a double or triple bond.
Hydrogenation, also called 'fat hardening' because saturated have higher melting point than UNsaturated fats.
(Natural fats are mainly tri-glycerides of linear long chained fatty acids)
"Saturation" refers to C--C (Carbon to Carbon) bonds. If the bond is a single bond, then each carbon atom will have three additional bonds attached to it for a total of four bonds, which it needs to make its electron shell complete. These four bond include the C-C bond, as well as the three C-H bonds on each carbon. For this example, see ethane, C2H6 or CH3-CH3. Since the valence of C is 4, no more bonds may be attached, hence, each carbon is considered 'saturated'.
For a compound containing a C=C double bond, each carbon has TWO bonds to the other carbon but can have only two additional bonding sites, such as in ethylene (C2H4) or CH2=Ch2. The double bond creates an additional unused site on each carbon atom which can carry an H atom (but doesn't). Our example of ethylene above is then "unsaturated" because we can add two additional H to make the saturated CH3-CH3.
The fact that you asked about FATS just means that somewhere in the fat molecule there is one or more C=C double bonds. Hydrogenating the fat will turn all C=C bonds into single CH-CH bonds, and now you have a "saturated" fat.
Consider: CH2=CH2 + H2 -> CH3-Ch3. Here we 'saturated' the ethylene by adding two more hydrogen atoms to form ethane which is now 'saturated.
Transfer your solution into a flask, and place it on a lit bunsen burner. Slowly evaporate your fluid base (typically water) to decrease the total volume of your solution, while maintaining the saturation of the original solution. You can optionally slowly add more of the substance your attempting to saturate your solution with and mix it during the heating process.
The process that converts an unsaturated fat to a saturated fat is known as hydrogenation.
hydrogenation
Hydrogenation.
Unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon bonds.
Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds between carbon atoms and unsaturated.
Unsaturated fatty acids are better than saturated fats for letting substances in and out of the cell. This is because unsaturated fats are more porous.
trans fat
Saturated fatty acids have no double covalent bonds between carbon atoms. The carbon in the chain is saturated with all the hydrogens it can hold. Saturated fatty acids account for the solid nature at room temperature of fats such as lard and butter. Unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds between carbon atoms wherever the number of hydrogens is less than two per carbon atom. Unsaturated fatty acids account for the liquid nature of vegetable oils at room temperature.
Unsaturated fatty acids have double bond or triple bonds, whereas saturated fatty acids do not.
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.
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.
The double chain in the unsaturated fatty acid cause it to bent; unlike saturated fatty acid which has no double bond, is straight

No, unsaturated fatty acids are good for body. (PUFA is every better, poly unsaturated fatty acids)
