How do you do decrease the percentage of unsaturated fat in olive oil?

The process of hydrogenation, which is quite simple (it involves letting hydrogen gas bubble through the oil) will cause the unsaturated fat to become saturated. This will make the oil less nutritious but easier to store.


How do you prepare isopentene through hydrogenation?

To synthesiise isopentene by hydrogenation you will need to selectively hydrogenate isoprene. Selective hydrogenation of di-olefines is a tricky process with limited numbers of licensors. Normally isopentene is extracted from C5 raffinate.


What hydrocarbon is produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of naphthalene?

The hydrocarbon produced by the catalytic hydrogenation of naphthalene is tetralin. This reaction involves the addition of hydrogen atoms to the naphthalene molecule under suitable catalytic conditions. Tetralin is a bicyclic aromatic compound commonly used as a hydrogen donor in various chemical reactions.


What is the process of adding hydrogen to an unsaturated fatty acid and creating a more solid fat called?

The process is called hydrogenation and involves adding hydrogen to unsaturated fatty acids in the presence of a catalyst, typically nickel or platinum. This converts some of the double bonds in the unsaturated fatty acids into single bonds, creating a more saturated fat that is solid at room temperature.


How alkanes are produced?

Alkanes are primarily produced through petroleum refining, where crude oil is distilled and processed to separate out hydrocarbon fractions based on their boiling points. Another method is through the catalytic hydrogenation of alkenes or alkynes. Additionally, alkanes can be synthesized in the laboratory by reacting alkyl halides with metallic reducing agents.

Does Hydrogenation increase a fat's susceptibility to rancidity and shortens its shelf life?

Yes, hydrogenation of fat does increase its shelf life. The hydrogenation of the unsaturated fats usually produces the saturated fats.


Does hydrogenation of fat reduce its calorie content?

Not really, no.


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.


Does pork have trans fat?

There might be miniscule amounts of trans fats in pork, the result of feeding the pig a ration which includes trans fats. Trans fats are normally only produced by hydrogenation.


Does Hydrogenation conatin good fat?

No, hydrogenated oils are solid at room temperature. They are not good for you.


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.


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.
