Saturated fats are called "saturated" because of their chemical structure. All fats are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen molecules. Saturated fats are "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. They have the greatest number of hydrogen atoms possible and no double bonds in their chemical structure....
Fig. 1. Chemical structure of representative unsaturated fatty acids. Among unsaturated fatty acids, long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and long-chain omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids are the most concerned. Most studies show that omega-3 series have many benefits for human body...
Unsaturated fats differ from saturated fats in that they have one or more double bonds in their chemical composition. At room temperature, unsaturated fats are usually liquid (such as canola and olive oil). They are categorized based on their structures into two types: Monounsaturated fats:Only o...

a chemical bond between two atoms that is formed by a shared electron pair (one electron from each atom). Covalent bonds exist both in molecules (in all states of aggregation) and between the atoms that form crystal lattices. They may unite like atoms (in H2and C12molecules and diamond cry...
Biodiesel is derived from vegetable oil or animal fats, which comprises of several fatty acids with different chain length and bonding. The present work focuses on the effect of biodiesel molecular weight, structure (Cis & Trans), and the number of double bonds on the diesel engine operation ...
