Hydrogenation is widely applied to the processing of vegetable
oils and fats. It converts unsaturated fatty acids to saturated
ones which results in the conversion of liquid vegetable oils to
solid or semi-solid fats, such as those present in margarine.
Changing the degree of saturation of the fat changes some
important physical properties such as the melting point, which is
why liquid oils become semi-solid. Semi-solid fats are preferred
for baking because the way the fat mixes with flour produces a
more desirable texture in the baked product.
Application:
Hydrogenated Coconut Oil is widely used for the production of ice
cream, coating, as a milk fat replacer. It provides stable
crystalline lattice when used in ice cream production.
