Detailed explanation-1: -In the food industry, hydrogen is added to oils (in a process called hydrogenation) to make them more solid, or ‘spreadable’. Hydrogenated oils can be sold directly as ‘spreads’, but are also used in the food industry in the manufacture of many foodstuffs such as biscuits and cakes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrogenation is a chemical process that adds hydrogen to the unsaturated bonds on the FA chains attached to the TAG backbone. In this way, an unsaturated fat can be turned into a saturated fat and increase its melting point (List and King, 2006).
Detailed explanation-3: -Fat hydrogenation is the process of combining fat – typically liquid vegetable oils – with hydrogen, to convert some or all of the unsaturated fat into saturated fat, resulting in a solid or semi-solid fat.
