If Trans fats are inadvertently formed during the hydrogenation of vegetable oils is the hydrogenation of oils an oxidation or reduction reaction?

The parital hydrogenation of oils and fats reduces the cis double bonds in fats to give them a more solid form at room temperature. As the reduction process takes place at high temperatures, there is thermal isomerization of some of the cis bonds to their trans form.

Is ethanol a biofuel?
Ethanol can be a biofuel if it is obtained from vegetable matter. It can also be produced by the hydrogenation of ethylene in a refinery or chemical plant.
Why is hydrogenation of vegetable oils also known as hardening of oils?
One of the effects of hydrogenating vegetable oil is to raise the melting temperature, making it a solid instead of a liquid at room temperature.
How are unsaturated vegetable oils hardened?
Unsaturated vegetable oils tend to be liquid at room temperature, but they can also be 'hardened', through a chemical process called hydrogenation, to make them solid at room temperature.
Why is the vegetable ghee is not good for health?
vegetable ghee is more saturated then vegetable oil. More double bonds are present in oil compared to vegetable hence oil is better than ghee. More details can be found in hydrogenation of fats.
