Question

Differentiate between vegetable oils and animal fats

Answer 1

The difference between animal fat and vegetable oil is that vegetable oil is composed mostly of polyunsaturated fats, which are missing more than one pair of hydrogens in its structure, while animal fat is composed mostly of monounsaturated fats, which are missing only a single pair of hydrogen, and saturated fats, as claimed by Dr. Mercola. Saturated and monounsaturated fats are more easily accessible and usable by the body in comparison to polyunsaturated fats. Saturated fats have all of their hydrogen atoms in place, which causes them to form a straight chain and is the reason behind why animal fats are generally solids at room temperature; however, unsaturated fats, whether it be polyunsaturated or monounsaturated fats, have kinks and bends in their molecular structure, which is why they tend to be liquid at room temperature, like vegetable oil.

Answer 2

Here is ur ans
1)Animal Fats include butter, ghee, lard, tallow, and any other fatty substance rendered from animal flesh.

2)Animal fat is primarily made up of saturated and monounsaturated fats and glycerol.
On the other hand,
1)Vegetable Fats/Oils include the industrial seed oils, soy, canola, corn, cottonseed, sunflower, safflower, peanut, etc.

Their molecular structure is composed of large molecules called triglycerides, monoglycerides and diglycerides and lipids.

2)Vegetable Oils, are mechanically and chemically extracted from commodity grass crops.
