Best Answer

Fats are classified as saturated, monounstaturated or polyunstaturated.

Saturated fats are solid at room temperature. Animal products --meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products--and solid shortenings are the major sources of saturated fats. Tropical oils such as coconut oil and palm kernal oil are also rish in saturated fats.

Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fates are liquid at room temperature. Polyunsaturated fats are found in vegetable oils such as corn oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil and cottonseed oil. High levels of monounsaturated fats are found in olive oil and canola oil.
