The amount of saturation not only has an effect on the chemical but also the physical properties of the fat. For example, animal fat which is about half saturated and half unsaturated fat is a solid at room temperature but vegetable fat which is about 85 % unsaturated fat is a liquid at room temperature. This is because saturated fats are more linear compared to unsaturated which are nonlinear (bent), meaning that saturated fats are capable of more of what kind of interaction?
