The chemical structure of saturated lipids is fully saturated with hydrogen atoms, and does not contain double bonds between carbon atoms where as the chemical structure of an unsaturated lipid contains double bonds.
Saturated fat is usually solid or waxy at room temperature, whereas unsaturated fats are liquid. Coconut oil is a good example, as it is mostly made up of saturated fat. If it's in the high 70's coconut oil will melt into a liquid but at 60 degrees it will become a waxy substance that is very difficult to get out of the jar.
Saturated: Mostly found in animals.
Solid at room temperature.
Can make no bonds.
Unsaturated: Liquid at room temperature.
Can make double bonds.
Mostly found in plants
Saturated fats are solid at room temperature--examples: butter, bacon fat, lard, coconut oil, shortening.
Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature--examples--soy oil, peanut oil, canola oil, olive oil, etc...
A saturated fat has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms attached to every carbon atom and are generally animal fats. An unsaturated fats are primarily found in plants.
Saturated fatty acids contain no double bonds of their carbon atoms while unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds.
Wax is a saturated fat.
It is important to know, whether fat is saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fat is bad for your health. Unsaturated fat is good for your health, provided you take it in limited quantity.
Unsaturated fat means that it has not yet been saturated by carbon.
It has saturated.
saturated
Noodles are composed mainly of starch, therefore they are not made of fat, whether saturated or unsaturated.
Poly-unsaturated Mono-unsaturated Saturated
Corn oil is mostly unsaturated. It contains about 13% saturated fatty acids.
Saturated fat is usually animal fat such as fatty meat, pork, oily salmons while unsaturated fat is plant fat such as peanuts, sunflower oil,.....
No RDI is stated for unsaturated fat however there is for saturated fat. (approx 20 - 25 grams saturated fat for an recommended total intake of about 70 grams of fat.) So this works out to be a ratio of about 30% saturated and 70% unsaturated. Meaning, if your total fat intake is around 70g then this would amount to 20g for saturated and 50g for unsaturated fat.
Saturated Fat and MAYBE Trans Fat depending on the brand.
No. Trans fats are unsaturated.
