Well, darling, sunflower oil can be hardened to form margarine through a process called hydrogenation. This involves bubbling hydrogen gas through the oil at high temperatures in the presence of a catalyst. The unsaturated fats in the oil become saturated, creating a solid fat like margarine. So, there you have it, margarine in a nutshell...or should I say, in a sunflower shell?

How sunflower oil can be hardened?

Sunflower oil can be hardened by hydrogenation, during which the oil is reacted with hydrogen (gas) at about 60*C (degree centigrade). A nickel catalyst is used to speed up the reaction, and this results in the double bonds being broken down (or converted) to single bonds, making it a saturated fat.
