yes. they are just like saturated fat. except that hydrogenated fats are processed chemically to be that way. the more saturated with fat the more solid it is, it deals with the bonds. from worst to best; lard, stick butter,shortening,margarine,vegetable oil, olive oil.

∙ 14y agoHydrogenated oils are, unless I have missed a memo somewhere, generally regarded as bad for you. Hydrogenation is used to turn unsaturated oils into saturated fats. (Why would anyone want to go to a lot of trouble to make something less healthy? Because fats simply work better for some things, like making flaky pastries, and even factoring in the expense of the hydrogenation process vegetable oils are cheaper than lard or butter. Also, "hydrogenated vegetable oils" in the ingredients list probably tests better in market research than "lard" does.)

What are some food examples of fats?
Some examples of fat foods are: Bacon, anything fried like chicken, fries, etc.
What is hydrogenated tallow?
Tallow is beef fat, a trigylceride. Hydrogenation breaks the double bonds of a hydrocarbon, and replaces them with single carbon atoms. This process is known as "saturation" - you're saturating all the bonds with carbon. Generally, hydrogenated fats are solids, and less hydrogenated fats are liquids. Hydrogenation is sometimes called "hardening" the fats involved. Tallow, on the other hand, is pretty hard already. There aren't many bonds that aren't already saturated. Hydrogenated tallow would be a slightly stiffer fat than ordinary tallow.
A type of fatty acid with odd molecular shapes that is created when oils are partly hydrogenated?
Trans fat
What is hydrogenated oils made from?
There are a few main characteristics of hydrogenated oils. They all raise LDL cholesterol and raise HDl cholesterol, they get stored in adipose tissue, and some of their fatty acids become trans fats.
What are solid lipids at room temperature?
Any lipid that is hydrogenated. Having single carbon carbon bonds lets all the hydrogen bond and allows the lipid to remain a solid at room temperature.
Can you substitute melted shortening for vegetable oil in pancakes?
Yes, but trans fats and hydrogenated fats are really bad for you--watch out!!
What is it called When hydrogen has been added to unsaturated fats?
The chemical process in which hydrogen atoms are added to unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats is hydrogenation.
What are hydrogenated lipids?
Hydrogenated lipids are also known as fats or oils. Hydrogenated lipids were treated with hydrogen and are not as healthy as other alternatives.
How does hydrogen make margarine?
Margarine hydrogenated fats.
Is there other names for trans fat?
Hydrogenated fats.
What are some food examples of fats?
Some examples of fat foods are: Bacon, anything fried like chicken, fries, etc.
Are hydrogenated oils the same as trans fat?
No, saturated fats and trans fats are different. Saturated fat increases low-density lipoprotein, which is bad for you. Trans fats do the same thing, but also lower high-density lipoprotein, which is good for you. Trans fats are a lot worse.
Which are formed from fatty acids with single carbon to carbon bonds?
saturated fats for plato A
What kind of fat has more hydrogen atoms and is more rigid?
Saturated fats. Also called hydrogenated fats.
Does shortening have trans fats?
In some cases yes, it is made from hydrogenated fats. However it does depend upon the brand.
Why are hydrogenated fats more useful?
Now unsaturated fats are considered more useful because it does not cause atherosclerosis.
Why is hydrogenated oil bad for your health?
When hydrogenated oils were introduced into foods into the 1960's it was so manufactured foods would have a longer shelf-life. The thought was that if you replaced the animal fats in cookies, etc. with vegetable fats it would be better. However, it has been found that hydrogenated oil raises the LDL levels of bad cholesterol, and lowers the HDL levels of good cholesterol in your blood. Stay away from manufactured food. If it comes in a box and has ingredients you can't pronounce it isn't real food.
