hydrogenated fat
Solidified vegetable oil
Hydrogenated fat is a fat that has been chemically altered by adding hydrogen atoms, converting liquid oils into solid or semi-solid fats.
The process extends shelf life and creates stable textures for processed foods like margarine, shortening, and packaged baked goods.
Partial hydrogenation produces trans fats, now widely recognized as harmful to cardiovascular health and restricted or banned in many countries.
