What is saturated fats?unsaturatd fats?
Answer:
Saturated fats are those in which all the carbon atoms in the chain are bonded to hydrogen atoms. Unsaturated fats have one or more carbon atoms that do not have hydrogen atoms bonded to the carbon chain. Saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature, while unsaturated do not. Unsaturated fats are also much more likely to go rancid, since the open bonding sites can attract other atoms.
Saturated fat:A type of fat most often found in animal food products including milk, eggs, meat and butter. Saturated fat is also found in vegetable products such as coconut and palm oil. Studies show that too much saturated fat in a person's diet increases heart disease risk.
Unsaturated fat:A fat with at least one available bonding site not filled with a hydrogen atom. These may be monounsaturated or polyunsaturated. They tend to be liquid at room temperature and are primarily of vegetable origin.
