Interpretation:
The nutrition labels A, B and C have to be matched with corn oil, butter, and margarine.
Concept Introduction:
Unsaturated fats are considered as healthy fats and have double bonds present in their structure. They are liquid at room temperature. For example, canola, nuts, olive oils, and vegetable oils.
Fats with no double bond between the molecules and are solid at room temperature are called saturated fats. They are harmful for the body. For example dairy products such as butter, cheese, ice-cream and various oils like coconut oil and cocoa butter.
Trans fat is similar to saturated fat formed by the partial hydrogenation of liquid oils to give semi-solid triacylglycerols. They level up the amount of bad cholesterol in blood that increases the risk of coronary diseases. Trans fat contains double bond in trans configuration. Examples are crackers, pies, and muffins.
