hydrogenated
Treated with H₂
Hydrogenated describes oils or fats that have been chemically treated with hydrogen to make them more solid and stable.
The process converts liquid vegetable oils into semi-solid fats like margarine or shortening: hydrogenated vegetable oil.
Partially hydrogenated oils contain trans fats, now widely restricted in food production due to health concerns.
