Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -trans fat, also called trans fatty acid or partially hydrogenated fat, fat produced from the industrial process of hydrogenation, in which molecular hydrogen (H2) is added to vegetable oil, thereby converting liquid fat to semisolid fat.
Detailed explanation-2: -Trans fats are made when liquid oils are turned into solid fats, like shortening or margarine. These are called partially-hydrogenated oils (PHOs).
Detailed explanation-3: -While many commercial vegetable oils contain trans fat, non-hydrogenated versions are available. The only way to know for sure if the oil you use contains trans fat is to check labels and to talk to your suppliers.
