Solid fats do not inherently have a high protein content; they are primarily composed of lipids or fats. Common solid fats, like butter or margarine, are rich in saturated fats and calories rather than protein. Proteins are typically found in foods such as meat, dairy, legumes, and nuts. Therefore, when discussing the nutritional composition of solid fats, the focus is on their fat content rather than protein.
Unsaturated fats have a very high boiling points. Another characteristic is that unsaturated fats become solid at room temperature.
Fats that are solid at room temperature are called saturated fats.
Saturated fats and trans-fats are solid at room temperature. Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats (oils) are liquid at room temperature. Trans-fats are liquid fats that are treated chemically and thermally to mimic saturated fats, usually in a process called hydrogenation. This process in a nutshell (it's a bit more complicated) injects hydrogen into the oils at high temperature and high pressure producing polymers (plastics) from the hydrocarbon molecules in the oils. Most vegetable shortenings are produced this way, shortenings (solid fats) that are not natural saturated fats are trans-fats.
Saturated fats - that is, fats with a single bond, such as bacon rind or lard, are solid at room temperature.Saturated fats are solid at room temperature. Examples--bacon grease, coconut oil.
