Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The fact that lard is solid at room temperature indicates that it is composed mostly of saturated fats. Saturated fats have straight, rigid chains that can pack closely together and solidify at room temperature, whereas unsaturated fats have kinks in their chains that prevent them from packing tightly and usually remain liquid at room temperature.
