    Saturated generally refers to a state where something has absorbed or incorporated the highest possible amount of another substance. It highly depends on the field it is used, for example: 1.

A simple example would be sugar dissolved in water until no more can be absorbed. 2. In fats and oils, a saturated fat is a fat molecule that has no double bonds between carbon molecules because it is saturated with hydrogen molecules. 3.

In market economics, a saturated market is one where the majority of potential consumers have already purchased a product, indicating a maturity stage of the product life cycle. 5. In physics, specifically in physical vapor deposition, saturation is the point at which a material cannot absorb more of another substance in its current state. 6.
