sat·u·rat·ed fat·ty ac·ida fatty acid, the carbon chain of which contains no ethylenic or other unsaturated linkages between carbon atoms (for example, stearic acid and palmitic acid); called saturated because it is incapable of absorbing any more hydrogen.saturated fatty acid An alkyl-chain fatty acid that has no double (ethylenic) bonds between carbons; it is called saturated as the chain is incapable of absorbing more hydrogen. These fatty acids have higher melting points and may be solid at room temperature. Saturated fatty acids (e.g., stearic acid) are found in animal fats (e.g., butter, margarine, meat and dairy).saturated fatty acid Nutrition An animal fats–eg, butter, margarine, meat and dairy fats are rich in SFAs–eg, stearic acid; ↑ consumption of SFAs is linked to CAD.
