Do you mean “triolein” (or olein) when you wrote “triple in”? If so, here’s the usual matching:

- Stearin (tristearin / stearic acid derivative)
- Likely solid at room temperature
- Is a saturated fat

- Triolein (olein / glyceride of oleic acid)
- Likely liquid at room temperature
- Is an unsaturated fat

Why: saturated long chains pack tightly and have higher melting points, so saturated fats (like stearin) tend to be solid. Unsaturated chains have cis double bonds that introduce kinks, preventing tight packing and lowering melting points, so unsaturated fats (like triolein) tend to be liquid.

If you meant a different compound by “triple in,” tell me which and I’ll adjust.
