Summary
Fatty acids fall into two main groups: saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fatty acids (which are found primarily in animal sources) contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms (i.e., two hydrogens per carbon). Unsaturated fatty acids (which are found primarily in plant sources), in contrast, lack one or more hydrogen atoms and therefore have one or more “double-bonds” between two carbons (see figure).
