providing that thee are no double bonds (which i think you are trying to say) it is saturated.

unsaturated means that there is at least 1 double bond

polyunsaturated means that there are at least 2 double bonds

dehydrogenated means that is is either unsaturated or polyunsaturated since hydrogen was removed forcing double bonds to form

polymerized means that 2 unsaturated carbon chains bonded to each other in order to get rid of the strained double or triple bond ( this can only happen to unsaturated compounds)

you can determine weather or not it is unsaturated by determining if the number of hydrogen atoms is less than (number carbon)2 + 2 , if it is less than it is unsaturated.

Is linseed oil saturated?

No, linseed oil is not a saturated fat; it is a polyunsaturated oil.


Does polyunsaturated fats has fewer hydrogen atoms than saturated fats?

Yes, polyunsaturated fats have fewer hydrogen atoms than saturated fats because they contain double bonds in their carbon chains, which leads to a reduction in the number of hydrogen atoms that can bind to the carbon atoms.


Which fat is better for you saturated fat polyunsaturated fat hydrogenated fat trans fatty acids?

Polyunsaturated fat is considered the healthiest option among these choices, as it can help lower bad cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Saturated fat and trans fatty acids should be limited in the diet, while hydrogenated fats often contain trans fats and should also be avoided.


Is pig oil saturated?

Pig oil, or lard, is primarily composed of saturated fats, though it also contains unsaturated fats. Typically, about 40-45% of lard's fat content is saturated, while the remainder consists of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. This composition makes lard semi-solid at room temperature. Therefore, while it is not entirely saturated, it has a significant amount of saturated fat.


What are the differences between saturated unsaturated mono saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids?

Fats are a type of triglyceride. This is aglycerol ( H-CHOH-CHOH-CHOH-H ) molecule reacted with three fatty acids. ( R-COOH ) where R is a long chain carbon molecule. In this chain there can be single carbon carbon bonds or double carbon carbon bonds. A saturated fat is one where all bonds are single. A monounsaturated fat contains a single carbon carbon double bond. A polyunsaturated fat has more than one. If R is H-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CO-O-G it is a saturated fat. If it is H-CH2-CH2-CH=CH-CO-O-G it is monounsaturated. If it is H-CH=CH-CH=CH-CO-O-G then it has two and therefore polyunsaturated. The G stands for glycerol (Sometimes glycerine) .

Is safflower oil a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids?

Not really. Both do contain saturated fats, but the primary components are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Olive oil, for example, is about three-quarters monounsaturated fat, with the remaining quarter divided about equally between saturated and polyunsaturated fat.

Unsaturated and saturated fat?

Fats are made of polymers that are a attached to a sugar. A polymer is a reapting chain of carbon and hydrogen molecules. If all the molecules have hydrogens, the polymer is a saturated fat. If the chain is missing one hydrogen, it becomes an unsaturated fat. If the chain has mor than one missing hydrogen, it is a polyunsaturated fat.
