Triglycerides Animals Plants Lipids Rich Fatty Acids Rtp

Triglycerides from non-fish animals are rich in saturated fatty acids (fats solid at RTP), while those from plants and fish are rich in unsaturated fatty acids (oils liquid at RTP).

Los triglicéridos de animales no peces son ricos en ácidos grasos saturados (grasas sólidas a T.A.), mientras que los de plantas y peces son ricos en ácidos grasos insaturados (aceites líquidos a T.A.).
