What vegetable oils are high in saturated fats?
Coconut oil is high in saturated fat.
Does vegetable oil solidify in the fridge?
Yes, vegetable oil can solidify in the fridge due to its high saturated fat content.
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.
What type of reaction is used to convert oil to a saturated fat?
Oil (vegetable oil usually) is reacted with hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst to form saturated fat (normally a solid at room temp)
Is palm oil saturated or unsaturated?
No oil is purely one or the other, they are all mixtures. Palm oil has about the same amount of saturated fatty acids and monounsaturated fatty acids. Palm oil contains very little polyunsaturated fatty acids.
What type of triglyceride would this of substance be vegetable oil butter shortening?

It's not a single type of fat; it contains both saturated and unsaturated fat. For reducing your saturated fat content, you could do better by using canola oil (which doesn't have as good a flavor).
What are saturated fats considered bad?
Many public health agencies say saturated fats cause more heart disease than unsaturated. Independent researchers find no correlation. The confusion is caused by failing to distinguish how the fat is used. Unrefined unsaturated fats are better when eaten cold, such as salad dressing. Saturated fats are better when heated, such as frying and making processed foods. Vegetable fat, except coconut oil, is unsaturated; animal fat is saturated. Vegetable oil becomes saturated when it is hydrogenated, used to make processed foods such as margarine and peanut butter. Unsaturated fats break down when heated. Vegetable oil is heated when it is refined. All vegetable oils are refined except virgin olive oil. Virgin means unrefined.
