I think the fatty acids that may be used to make a fat that is liquid at room temperature are One plamitic acid, one stearic acid, and one oleic acid.

Fatty acids are composed of linked chains of carbon atoms with an organic acid group at the end of the chain. Liquid fats or Oils are mainly obtained from plants or fish sources, and have high percentages of unsaturated fatty acids.
