The basic unit in oils is the fatty acid, which consists of a long hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group at one end. Fatty acids can be saturated or unsaturated, depending on the presence of double bonds between carbon atoms. These fatty acids combine with glycerol to form triglycerides, the primary component of oils and fats.
