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.
What is solid at room temperature and comes from animals?
The product that comes from animals that is solid at room temperature is saturated fat. Unsaturated fat is a liqiud at room temperature.
A statement proved that the vegetable fats are more unsaturated than animal fats?
In general, yes. Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and saturated fats are solid at room temperature.
Is butter high in unsaturated fat?
Saturated. Saturated Fats are solid at room temperature (like butter), whereas Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature (like Vegetable oils).
Which of these is rich in unsaturated fats?
Liquid oil, in general, is more unsaturated than solid fats.
Characteristics of Unsaturated Fats?
Unsaturated fats have a very high boiling points. Another characteristic is that unsaturated fats become solid at room temperature.
What are different names for unsaturated fats?
Solid fats, shortening
What uis the difference between saturated fat and unsaturated fat?
Chemically, saturated fats have more hydrogen atoms on the fat molecules.Practically, saturated fats are solid at room temperature (butter, lard, coconut oil) while unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature (olive and other liquid vegetable oils).
Are Unsaturated fats solid at room temperature?
No, they are liquid at room temperature.
Are unsaturated fats usually solid at room temp whereas saturated fats are usually liquid?
No! the other way around. Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temp whereas saturated fats are solid!
What is meant by unsaturated fat?
Unsaturated fat is liquid at room temperature and comes from plants. Saturated fat is solid at room temperature and comes from animals.
How does hydrogen harden vegetable oils?
It hydrogenates the double c=c bond to make it a more 'saturated' oil to natural fat.Saturated natural fats are harder (more solid) then (unsaturated) natural oils.H2 + (-CH=CH-) --> (-CH2-CH2-)
