FOOD TECHNOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -saturated fat, a fatty acid in which the hydrocarbon molecules have a hydrogen atom on every carbon and thus are fully hydrogenated. (By way of comparison, the hydrocarbon molecules of unsaturated fats have two carbons that share double or triple bonds and are therefore not completely saturated with hydrogen atoms.)

Detailed explanation-2: -Saturated fats are called “saturated” because of their chemical structure. All fats are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen molecules. Saturated fats are “saturated” with hydrogen atoms, which means they have the greatest number of hydrogen atoms possible and no double bonds in their chemical structure.

Detailed explanation-3: -The term saturated indicates that the maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms are bonded to each carbon in the molecule. Many saturated fatty acids have a trivial or common name as well as a chemically descriptive systematic name.
