1. It depends on the food it is dripping from

2. It depends on the temperature of the "dripping fat."

For instance, if the fat is heated and dripping off of Pizza, cooked meat products etc. then it is a saturated fat, because even though saturated fat is a solid at room temperature, it becomes a liquid when heated.

If you are referring to fats that will "drip" at room temperature (is in olive oil, canola oil etc) then that is an unsaturated fat.

The best way to tell is to let the "dripping fat" come back to room temp, if it hardens you know its saturated.

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.)
