Define unsaturated fat?

Answer 1

an unsaturated fat is a molecule that contains no double bonds must be at liquid

Answer 2

The difference between saturated and unsaturated fat in a word is -- hydrogen. All fats contain carbon, hydrogen and a little oxygen to form what are called fatty acids. Chemists classify fats according to the proportion of hydrogen in the fatty acids. If the fatty acids contain all the hydrogen possible, they are said to be saturated. If not completely full of hydrogen, fatty acids are termed unsaturated.
Animal fat tends to be highly saturated with hydrogen, while vegetable fats are unsaturated to varying degrees. Saturated fats are usually solid and unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature.

Then unsaturated fat is a fatty acid not saturated with hydrogen, usually comes from vegetable, and it is liquid at room temperature.

Answer 3

An unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is one or more double bond in the fatty acid chain. A fat molecule is monounsaturated if it contains one double bond, and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond. Where double bonds are formed, hydrogen atoms are eliminated. The greater the degree of unsaturation in a fatty acid (ie, the more double bonds in the fatty acid), the more vulnerable it is to lipid peroxidation (rancidity). Antioxidants can protect unsaturated fat from lipid peroxidation.

Answer 4

Unsaturated fat are fat that can be altered because of the their dubel molecule tie.

Examples are oil, oils are unsaturated fat.

If oil goes under hygdrogenization, it will become fat, the yellowish gel- like matter.

Answer 5

unsaturated fats are fats that have double bonds between therir atoms. they are usualy liquid at room temperature. thats why oils are unsaturated fats. when they are hydrogenated, they lose their double bonds and become saturated with hydrogen atoms. saturated fats are solid at room temperature, think butter.

Answer 6

fat which is made up of unsaturated organic compounds
