What is hydrogenation and why is it done?
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.
What is true of trans fat?
Made through the process of hydrogenation
In the process of fat hydrogenation hydrogen atoms are added to which part of the molecule?
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.
How does the hydrogenation of the unsaturated fat triolein forming the saturated fat tristearin?
The hydrogenation of the unsaturated fat triolein involves the addition of hydrogen molecules across the double bonds of the fatty acid chains. This process converts the double bonds in triolein, which is a triglyceride with three unsaturated fatty acids, into single bonds, resulting in the formation of tristearin, a saturated fat. The hydrogenation process increases the stability and shelf life of the fat but also changes its physical properties, leading to a solid fat at room temperature.
When an oil is changed to a solid trans fat like in the production of some margarine's what is the process called?
Hydrogenation
What is a trans fat and how did it get in your margarine?
Unsaturated fat. there is double bonds between the carbons making it semi solid. It gets in margarine by the process of hydrogenation.
Hydrogenation produces what kinds of fat?
trans fat
When manufacturers add hydrogen to vegetable oil in a process called hydrogenation what type of fat is made?
Trans Fats
Are made when manufacturers add hydrogen to vegetable oil in a process called hydrogenation.?
Trans fats
When manufacturers add hydrogen to vegetable oil in process called hydrogenation what type of fat is made?
Trans Fats
What fat is produced through hydrogenation?
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.
What hydrogenation of oil will yield?
saturated fat
