Question

difference between saturated and unsatured​

Answer 1

Answer:

Fat in general plays an important part in a healthy diet, the kind of fat in your food – either saturated or unsaturated fat – is something to consider when preparing snacks and meals.

Saturated and unsaturated fats are present in many of the foods we eat. Understanding the differences between the two types, which foods are the main sources, and the potential impact of these fats on health can help you make better choices as you cook and shop.

What are saturated and unsaturated fats?

Saturated and unsaturated fats are different kinds of fat, found in different amounts in different foods. While full fat dairy products such as butter and cheese and fatty and processed meats (as well as many baked and processed foods like cakes and biscuits) are high in saturated fat, good sources of unsaturated fats include nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils*.

One of the most relevant aspects of the difference between these types of fat is in the impact they can have on health.

Saturated vs. unsaturated fat

Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats in the diet has been shown to lower blood cholesterol – one of the risk factors in the development of heart disease**. In the UK on average we currently eat more saturated fat than is recommended.

So paying attention to the amount of saturated fat vs. unsaturated fat in your diet, and opting for unsaturated options where possible, is a positive step for heart health**.

What is the difference between saturated and unsaturated fats?

So what are saturated and unsaturated fats, structurally speaking? The difference between saturated and unsaturated fat lies in the number of double bonds in the fatty acid chain. Saturated fatty acids lack double bonds between the individual carbon atoms, while in unsaturated fatty acids there is at least one double bond in the fatty acid chain.

Saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature and from animal sources, while unsaturated fats are usually liquid and from plant sources.
