Oils are partially hydrogenated (not fully) to manufacture Vanaspati , because fully saturated solidified oils ?
Correct answer: C. Cause cholesterol build up and blood clotting
- A. Always contain some amount of nickel (as their complete removal is very difficult)
- B. Are prone to rancid oxidation
- C. Cause cholesterol build up and blood clotting
- D. Have affinity to retain harmful sulphur compounds
Explanation
Fully hydrogenated oils are highly saturated and can contribute to raised blood cholesterol, so partial hydrogenation was traditionally used to obtain a suitable semisolid consistency. The practice is now questioned because partial hydrogenation can produce harmful trans fats.
