Saturated fatty acids have no C=C double bonds. They have the formula CH 3 (CH 2) n COOH, where n is some positive integer. An important saturated fatty acid is stearic acid (n = 16), which when neutralized with sodium hydroxide is the most common form of soap. Arachidic acid, a saturated fatty acid
A saturated fat is a type of fat in which the fatty acid chains have all single bonds between the carbon atoms. A fat known as a glyceride is made of two kinds of smaller molecules: a short glycerol backbone and fatty acids that each contain a long linear or branched chain of carbon (C) atoms.
How to balance omega-3 and omega-6 fats in your diet “The easiest way to balance omega-3s and omega-6s is by adding omega-3-rich foods to your daily meals,” explains Ali.

Full hydrogenation of a fat or oil produces a fully saturated fat. However, hydrogenation generally was interrupted before completion, to yield a fat product with specific melting point, hardness, and other properties. Partial hydrogenation turns some of the cis double bonds into trans bonds by an isomerization reaction.
