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.
