Manufacturers make vegetable oils solid or semisolid at room temperature by?

The process called "hydrogenation" adds chemical bonds within the oil to decrease the number of double carbon bonds, changing the fat from unsaturated (fewer hydrogen bonds) to saturated (more hydrogen bonds).
Saturated fats tend to be solids.

What is a shortening?
A shortening is a cooking fat that is solid or semisolid at room temperature. These include butter, lard, hydrogenated margarines (transfats), and hydrogenated vegetable oils (transfats).
Is curd a solid or a liquid?
semi solid
Which is healthier solid shortening or vegetable oil?
Coconut oil which is a solid at room temperature.
What is hydrogenated vegetable shortening?
A solid fat made from vegetable oils, such as soybean and cottonseed oil. Although made from oil, shortening has been chemically transformed into a solid state through hydrogenation.
Classify jelly is it a solid or liquid?
jelly is a gel or a semisolid
The three physical forms of laboratory media are?
solid, semisolid, liquid
What are solid or semisolid adhesive masses that prolong contact at the site of application?
liniments
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.
Which is the best lubricant solid or semisolid?
Its not that simple. Different applications call for different types of lubricant. Using a semisolid in some applications would be catastrophic while in others it is perfect.
What is a fat that is a solid?
Shortening is solid at room temperature. It is a hydrogenated vegetable oil, the hydrogenation being the thing that makes it solid at room temperature. (Most vegetable 'fats' are usually called oils because they are liquid at room temperature.) Hydrogenated fats are not very good for you.
How and why does the agar concentration in semisolid media differ from conventional solid media?
Semisolid media contains a 1.5% concentration of agar, which is used to grow and select isolated colonies. Semisolid media contains agar at a lower concentration (around 0.4%,) which is used for motility studies.
