Which of the following reactions is used in the preparation of vegetable ghee from oil?
Correct answer: C. Hydrogenation
- A. Hydration
- B. Sulphonation
- C. Hydrogenation
- D. Dehydrogenation
Explanation
The reaction used in the preparation of vegetable ghee from oil is called hydrogenation. Hydrogenation is a chemical process where hydrogen gas is added to unsaturated fats or oils, converting them into saturated fats. In the case of vegetable ghee, hydrogenation is used to convert liquid vegetable oil into a solid or semi-solid form, giving it a higher melting point and a creamy texture. This process helps to increase the shelf life and stability of the vegetable ghee.
