Organic Chemistry, Chapter 23, Problem 14P

Solid fats are the triacylglycerols and are solid at room temperature. Oil or liquid fat from plant source undergoes catalytic hydrogenation in order to get converted into solid fat. It needs extensive application to convert vegetable oil into solid commercial cooking fat for the longer shelf life of the fat/oil.

All fatty acids undergo reactions typical of carboxylic acids, such as with alcohols, mineral acids and bromine and phosphorus.
