Answer 1

ANSWER :

The trans-fats are hydrogenated vegetable oils (e.g.- Canola), and they are placed in the category of saturated fatty acids because contain only single covalent bonds in their carbon chain. Trans-fats are semi-solid at room temperature (about 25°C), generally found in the processed food items and considered bad for the health of heart due to their link of production of low density lipoprotein (LDL) or bad cholesterol in the body.
