Oil becomes saturated when it can no longer dissolve any more solute, such as water or gases, at a given temperature and pressure. This is usually reached when the oil reaches its maximum capacity to hold the solute.
No, linseed oil is not a saturated fat; it is a polyunsaturated oil.
Coconut oil is one of the oils highest in saturated fatty acids, with around 90% of its fatty acids being saturated. Palm oil is another oil high in saturated fatty acids, with approximately 50% of its fatty acids being saturated.
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)
The process of hydrogenation, which is quite simple (it involves letting hydrogen gas bubble through the oil) will cause the unsaturated fat to become saturated. This will make the oil less nutritious but easier to store.
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.
No, linseed oil is not a saturated fat; it is a polyunsaturated oil.
The definiton of saturated oils is oil in thongs and condoms!
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.

About 1/3 of the fat in vegetable oil is saturated fat.
Yes, coconut oil is high in saturated fat.
Coconut oil is one of the oils highest in saturated fatty acids, with around 90% of its fatty acids being saturated. Palm oil is another oil high in saturated fatty acids, with approximately 50% of its fatty acids being saturated.
The saturated fat content in peanut oil is around 17.
Vegetable oil is unsaturated. Butter is saturated. Im not sure about shortening.

Sunflower oil contains minimal amounts of saturated fat, with less than 10 of its total fat content being saturated.
Coconut oil is high in saturated fat.
