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.


In the process of fat hydrogenation hydrogen atoms are added to which part of the molecule?

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.
