Vegetable oils are converted into solid fat (ghee) by
-
- Hydrolysis
- Addition of agar
- Oxidation using air and a catalyst
- Hydrogenation
Correct Option: D
Hydrogenation - to treat with hydrogen - is a chemical reaction between molecular hydrogen (H2) and another compound or element, usually in the presence of a catalyst. The largest scale application of hydrogenation is for the processing of vegetable oils (fats to give margarine and related spreads and shortenings). Typical vegetable oils are derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids (containing more than one carbon-carbon double bonds).
