Saturated fat is fat that consists of triglycerides containing only saturated fatty acids . Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between the individual carbon atoms of the fatty acid chain. That is, the chain of carbon atoms is fully saturated with hydrogen atoms. There are many kinds of naturally occurring saturated fatty acids, which differ mainly in number of carbon atoms, from 3 carbons ( propionic acid ) to 36 (hexatriacontanoic acid). Various fats contain different proportions of saturated and unsaturated fat . Examples of foods containing a high proportion of saturated fat include animal fats such as cream , cheese , butter , and ghee ; suet , tallow , lard , and fatty meats ; as well as certain vegetable products such as coconut oil , cottonseed oil , palm kernel oil , chocolate , and many prepared foods.
