Entry 1: I dont know a lot about hydrogenated vegetable oil , but i can tell you this: its a trans fat- and:

When u eat food with hydrogenated vegetable oil, the fats created cannot be metablized by ur body. Simply, the fat cell will hydrogenated vegetable oil in them can not be burnt off by exercise or dieting...... YOU WILL STAY FAT UNTIL THE CELL DIES IN A BOUT A YEAR. And get this- food packaging lies 2 u about "0 trans fat" PeOPLe: read the ingrediants, if it has hydrogenated vegetable oil then i has trans fats!!!!!

Entry 2: Vegetable Oils are usually liquids at room temperature. Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil is Vegetable Oil which has been hydrogenated to make it solid at room temperature. This can then been used to make spreads and margarines.

Hydrogenation Process:

Vegetable seeds are cleaned and bleached to remove all colour, taste, smells and impurities. The liquid vegetable oil is then heated to high temperatures and a catalyst (commonly nickel, but could be palladium, platinum or rhodium) is added. Hydrogen is bubbled through the liquid. The mixture is then filtered to remove the metal, leaving hydrogenated vegetable oil. Water, whey, salt, vitamins, colourings, flavourings and emulsifiers may then be added to produce hydrogenated margarine.

Entry 3: I learned in college chemistry texts that hydrogenated vegetable oils which are artificially hardened oils are manufactured by passing pure hydrogen gas into a natural [emphasis on natural/occurring in nature] vegetable oil that has been heated to 220 degrees centigrade/Celsius in the presence of a nickel catalyst. I don't know what pressure is used in this process-possibly atmospheric pressure of about one bar but probably the pressure is greater than atmospheric to make the process more efficient. Examples of vegetable oils [vegetation is certainly natural] would be: olive, palm kernal, coconut, colza [rapeseed], ground nuts, soya ... the list is almost endless.

The relevance of this is the presence of trans-fats in hydrogenated vegetable oils where trans-fats are known to be toxic and deleterious to physical and mental health and have been implicated as a cause strokes and Heart disease but are cheap to make and extend the shelf-life of cakes, biscuits, pies et c.

The chemical name for the process of hardening vegetable oils is hydrogenation. This process involves the addition of hydrogen atoms to unsaturated fatty acids in the oil to make them more saturated and solid at room temperature.


How does vegetable oil harden and what factors contribute to this process?

Vegetable oil hardens through a process called hydrogenation, where hydrogen atoms are added to the oil molecules. Factors that contribute to this process include temperature, pressure, and the presence of a catalyst such as nickel.

Does water reduce hydrogenation?

No, water does not reduce hydrogenation. Hydrogenation is a chemical reaction that typically requires hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst to add hydrogen atoms to a compound. Water does not have a direct effect on the hydrogenation process.


Does water cause hydrogenation?

Water does not cause hydrogenation. Hydrogenation is a chemical process where hydrogen atoms are added to unsaturated fats to make them more saturated. It is typically done using hydrogen gas in the presence of a catalyst, such as nickel or palladium.


What is hydrogenation of water?

By mole, water is 66.666r% hydrogen but by mass it is about 11.9% hydrogen.


What reaction is involved in converting vegetable oil to dalda?

The conversion of vegetable oil to dalda involves the process of hydrogenation. During hydrogenation, hydrogen gas is added to the unsaturated fatty acids in the vegetable oil, typically in the presence of a catalyst like nickel. This reaction saturates the fats, resulting in a semi-solid product with a higher melting point, which is characteristic of dalda. This process helps improve the shelf life and stability of the fat for cooking and baking purposes.
