Explain Properties of Natural fats and oils

Natural fats and oils vary widely in their physical properties even though they are composed of the same or similar fatty acids. These differences result from differences in the proportion of the fatty acids and the structure of the individual triglycerides. Factors that affect the properties of vegetable oil are plant maturity, plant health, microbiological, seed location within the flower and the genetic variation of the plant. Animal fats and oils composition varies according to the animal species, diet, health and fat location on the carcass and maturity.
