You can also see that oleic acid is not saturated.
Are unsaturated fats solid at room temperature.
There are some exceptions but most are solid at room temperature.
They are liquid at room temperature.
Unsaturated fats are more likely found in vegetables as well as in fish.
Due to the decreased saturation with hydrogen bonds the structures are weaker and are therefore typically liquid oil at room temperature.
Fats made up of saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature.
Fats that are tightly packed with no double bonds between the fatty acids are called saturated fats.
Now imagine the links in a chain that bend move and flow.
This fatty acid is unsaturated.
Monounsaturated fats are typically liquid at room temperature and include canola oil and olive oil.
Leaner animal products such as chicken breast or pork loin often have less saturated fat.
Polyunsaturated fats include safflower oil sunflower oil and corn oil.
Saturated fats in contrast are typically found in meat products and are solid at room temperature.
Sources of saturated fat.
The chain links are similar to the loose bonds that make unsaturated fat fluid or liquid at room temperature like the oil on top of a salad dressing or in a can of tuna.
