Fatty acids

Fatty acids are many different types.

Fat, Monounsaturated

Fatty acids that are usually liquid at room temperature and have a double bond.

Fat, Polyunsaturated

Fatty acids are usually liquid at room temperature.

Fat, Saturated

Fatty acids are solid at room temperature.

Fat, Solid

Fats that are usually not liquid at room temperature.

Some tropical oil plants, such as coconut and palm, are considered as solid fats due to their fatty acid composition.

Fat, Total

One of three macronutrients in food that provide calories, or “energy,” for the body. There are two types of fat: saturated and unsaturated.

Fat, Trans

Unsaturated fatty acids that are structurally different from the unsaturated fatty acids that occur naturally in plant foods.
