What is a biohydrogenation?

Answer 1

A biohydrogenation is another term for an instance of biochemical hydrogenation - the biochemical means of the reaction of hydrogen with another substance, under the influence of temperature and pressure.

Answer 2

Biohydrogenation is a process in the rumen of animals where unsaturated fatty acids are converted into saturated fatty acids by microbial activity. This process is crucial for ruminant animals, as it affects the composition of fats in their body and milk. Biohydrogenation plays a role in reducing the level of harmful trans fats in ruminant products.
