Both are medium to long chain fatty acids. Fats whether from animal or plant origins are more saturated than oils, resulting in a higher melting point. Animal fats and oils usually contain some cholesterol, vegetable fats and oils never contain any cholesterol.
Fatty acids are hydrocarbon chain molecules with a carboxylic acid group replacing the hydrogen atom at one end of the molecule.

What Both animal fats and plant oils are made up of glycerol and?
Both animal fats and plant oils are made up of glycerol and fatty acids. The key difference lies in the types of fatty acids present; animal fats typically contain more saturated fatty acids, while plant oils often have higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids. This composition affects their physical properties and health implications, with animal fats being solid at room temperature and plant oils generally being liquid.
What is DIN51600?
DIN 51600 is a standard in Germany that specifies the method for determining the iodine value of animal and vegetable fats and oils. It is used to measure the level of unsaturation in fats and oils, which is important for assessing their quality and suitability for various applications like food production or biodiesel.
Where do the fats and oils used in soap making come from?
The fats and oils used in soap making primarily come from both animal and plant sources. Common animal fats include tallow (beef fat) and lard (pork fat), while popular plant oils include olive oil, coconut oil, and palm oil. These fats and oils undergo a chemical reaction called saponification when combined with an alkali, typically sodium hydroxide, to produce soap. The choice of fats and oils affects the soap's properties, such as lathering ability and moisturizing qualities.
What do oils and fats dissolve in?
Oils and fats dissolve in other fats and oils, as they are non-polar molecules. They do not dissolve in water, which is a polar molecule.
Where does glycerol come from?
Pure glycerin is derived from animal fats. There is a substance in animal fat which is glycerin. A product which say it is free from animal fats is misleading if it contains glycerin in it.

Why use vegetable oils rather that animal oils in edible emulsion?

How do the properties of soaps made from vegetable oils differ from soaps made from animal fats?
Soaps made from vegetable oils tend to be milder and less harsh on the skin compared to soaps made from animal fats. They also often have better lathering properties and are more environmentally-friendly due to being derived from renewable plant sources.
Fats made when manufacturers add hydrogen to vegetable oils?
Hydrogenated oils
What Both animal fats and plants oils are made up of?

What kind of fat is soap made of?

What is oleo-chemistry?
