Manufacturers choose to hydrogenate oil primarily to improve its stability and shelf life, which helps prevent rancidity and extends product freshness. Hydrogenation also alters the texture of oils, allowing them to solidify at room temperature, making them more suitable for margarine, shortening, and other food products. Additionally, this process can enhance the oil's performance in cooking and baking by providing better consistency and mouthfeel.
