No, corn oil is not entirely saturated. While it contains some saturated fatty acids, it is primarily composed of unsaturated fats.
Corn oil's fatty acid composition is approximately:
- Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFA): 59%
- Monounsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA): 24%
- Saturated Fatty Acids (SFA): 13%
Therefore, because saturated fats only make up 13% of corn oil's composition, it is considered an unsaturated fat, particularly rich in polyunsaturated fats like linoleic acid.
