Fats may be either saturated or unsaturated. A saturated fat is a fat that consists of triglycerides whose carbon chains consist entirely of carbon-carbon single bonds. ... An unsaturated fat is a fat that consists of triglycerides whose carbon chains contain one or more carbon-carbon double bonds.
