Rancidity of the fatty oil can be reduced by its__________________?
Correct answer: B. Hydrogenation
- A. Decoloration
- B. Hydrogenation
- C. Oxidation
- D. Purification
Explanation
Rancidity is promoted by oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids. Hydrogenation reduces unsaturation and makes the oil less susceptible to oxidation, whereas oxidation would increase rancidity.
