Saturated Fat
Type of fat found in greatest amounts in foods from animals such as meat, poultry, and whole-milk dairy products like cream, cheese, ice cream, and milk . Other examples of saturated fat include butter, the marbling and fat along the edges of meat, and lard and the saturated fat content is high in some vegetable oils-like coconut, palm kernel, and palm oils. Saturated fat raises blood cholesterol more than anything else in the diet | ||||

Saturated fat
A type of fat found in greatest amounts in foods from animals, such as fatty cuts of meat, poultry with the skin, wholemilk dairy products, lard, and in some vegetable oils, including coconut, palm kernel, and palm oils. Saturated fat raises blood cholesterol more than anything else eaten. On a Step I Diet, no more than 8 to 10 percent of total calories should come from saturated fat, and in the Step II Diet, less than 7 percent of the day’s total calories should come from saturated fat.

saturated fat
Any dietary fat in which hydrogen-saturated fatty acids predominate. Meat, eggs, and tropical oils (such as coconut, palm, and palm kernel oils) contain saturated fats in large proportions.

Saturated fat
A type of fat found in greatest amounts in food from animals, such as butter, cheese, milk, and cream, as well as meat and poultry skin. A few vegetable fats — coconut oil, cocoa butter, palm kernel oil, and palm oil — are also high in saturated fats.

saturated fat
Compare with unsaturated fat .A lipid that contains no carbon-carbon double bonds. Animal fats like butter and lard are composed of saturated fat. Saturated fats tend to be waxy or greasy solids.

Saturated fat
Saturated fat is fat that consists of triglycerides containing only saturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between the carbon atoms of the fatty acid chain; hence, they are fully saturated with hydrogen atoms. There are several kinds of naturally occurring saturated fatty acids, their only difference being the number of carbon atoms - from 1 to 24. Some common examples of saturated fatty acids are butyric acid with 4 carbon atoms (contained in butter), lauric acid with 12 carbon atoms (contained in breast milk, coconut oil, palm oil), myristic acid with 14 carbon atoms (contained in cow milk and dairy products), palmitic acid with 16 carbon atoms (contained in palm oil, hence the name, and meat), and stearic acid with 18 carbon atoms (also contained in meat and cocoa butter).
