Answer:
Butter is about two-thirds saturated fat; mustard oil is mostly unsaturated. Saturated fats are like sticks of carbon completely coated with hydrogen; they could not accept another atom of hydrogen. ... Butter, which has more saturated fat than mustard oil, is therefore solid at higher temperatures than mustard oil.
