(1) Manufacturers hydrogenate soybean oil to reduce its content of unsaturated fatty acids, particularly linolenic acid, the primary culprit responsible for causing food to become stale or rancid.(2) And beef is a source of trans fat because cows hydrogenate fat in their stomachs.(3) Manufacturers hydrogenate oil to make it solid and literally twist the molecule into a form that wreaks havoc in the body.(4) The oils are hydrogenated - that is, hydrogen is added - in order to make them solid.(5) Artificially hardened vegetable oils (called trans fats or partially hydrogenated vegetable oils) are worse than saturated fats.(6) Any food containing partially hydrogenated oil is loaded with trans fat.(7) The protein as well as the crystallisation solution were hydrogenated .(8) They are also present in hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils found in processed foods.(9) High cholesterol can be caused by a diet high in saturated fat, such as fatty meats and hydrogenated vegetable oils.(10) Only later did research shed light on grim effects of the partially hydrogenated oil in margarine, with results such as higher incidences of heart disease.(11) If the saturated tropical oils don't get you, the partially hydrogenated vegetable oils will.(12) That's margarine, vegetable shortening, partially hydrogenated oils, polyunsaturated vegetable oils.(13) Hydrogen is also used by the food products industry to convert liquid oils to solid fats in a process known as hydrogenation .(14) Most restaurants use partially hydrogenated vegetable oils for deep frying.(15) Plant stanols are produced by hydrogenating sterols.(16) One example of the use of hydrogen atom transfer in organic synthesis is hydrogenation , i.e. the addition of hydrogen to a carbon-carbon double bond.
