dehydrogenated
Lost hydrogen atoms
Dehydrogenated describes something that has had hydrogen removed through a chemical process.
The term appears most often in food chemistry, where partially dehydrogenated oils are fats altered to extend shelf life—a process that creates trans fats.
In organic chemistry, dehydrogenation converts saturated compounds to unsaturated ones.
