The process of fat hydrogenation involves a high temperature and the involvement of a metallic catalyst. The metallic catalyst either increases or decreases the number of the chemical bonds within the molecules of the substances.
Made through the process of hydrogenation
Hydrogenation is the proccess that makes unsaturated fat have characteristics of saturated fat. During the process the shape of the fat molecule changes for cis to trans form. This process increases the risk of heart disease.
Hydrogen atoms are added to the double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids during the process of fat hydrogenation to saturate the bonds and convert the unsaturated fats into saturated fats.
Hydrogenation
Unsaturated fat. there is double bonds between the carbons making it semi solid. It gets in margarine by the process of hydrogenation.
trans fat
Trans Fats
Trans fats
Trans Fats
Trans fats are produced through hydrogenation, a process in which hydrogen is added to unsaturated fats to make them more solid and stable at room temperature. Consuming trans fats can raise levels of LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) in the blood and increase the risk of heart disease.
saturated fat
The process of transforming polyunsaturated oils to mostly-saturated fats is generally called "partial hydrogenation."
