Detailed explanation-1: -Naturally occurring triglycerides may be either solid or liquid at room temperature. Commonly, solid triglycerides are called fats and liquid triglycerides are called oils. The carboxylic acid moieties involved in forming fats and oils are often referred to as fatty acids (even numbered, C12-C18 mostly).
Detailed explanation-2: -Saturated fat is solid at room temperature. It is found mostly in animal-based foods (such as meat, butter, milk, and cheese) and in coconut oil, palm oil, and cocoa butter. Saturated fat can raise your cholesterol. Limit saturated fat.
Detailed explanation-3: -In animals, the carbon atoms in the fatty acids are saturated with hydrogen atoms. This allows them to lie straight and the molecules will pack neatly into a solid arrangement.
