What type of triglyceride would this of substance be vegetable oil butter shortening?
Vegetable oil is unsaturated. Butter is saturated. Im not sure about shortening.
Why does shortening melt faster than butter?
Shortening has a higher melting point than butter due to its higher saturated fat content. Saturated fats have a more ordered structure, which allows them to melt at a lower temperature compared to unsaturated fats found in butter. This is why shortening typically melts faster than butter when exposed to heat.
Is saturated fat a monomer of a lipid?
No, saturated fat is not a monomer of a lipid. Monomers of lipids are fatty acids, which can be saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fats consist of long chains of saturated fatty acids.

Why is the term shortening often used instead of fat?
The term "shortening" is often used instead of "fat" because shortening specifically refers to fats that are solid at room temperature, like vegetable shortening or lard, while "fat" is a more general term that can refer to both solid and liquid fats. Shortening is often used in baking to create a tender crumb texture in baked goods.
What fats are usually solid at room temperature?
The fat that is solid at room temperature is Saturated fat. There are three main categories of fat: Saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated. It is beneficial to eat fats that are liquid at room temperature such as olive oil. Examples of solid fats include: butter, lard, margarine, tallow, coconut oil, palm oil, shortening, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, and fully hydrogenated vegetable oil.

Can you use solidified bacon fat in place of shortening for pinto beans recipe that calls for a half cup water and 1 TBSP shortening?
Yes, you can. Lard (pork fat), tallow (beef fat) and other rendered animal fats (including bacon fat) originally, until the introduction of vegetable shortening, were called "short fats" or shortening. A result of the rendering process is that the portions of these fats that cannot be rendered are removed, leaving the fat 'short' of these [originally supposed] nutrients. So, yes, any rendered fats can be used in place of vegetable shortening. Keep in mind that the hydrogenation process that produces shortening also produces trans-fats [liquid fats that are processed to mimic the qualities of saturated fats] which are just as bad if not worse than the saturated fats [fats that are solid at room temperature]. You could, if you wanted, use oil in place of the shortening, (never do this for pastries, though) since the shortening melts into the recipe anyways.
