hydrogenates
Infuses with hydrogen
Hydrogenates is the verb form of hydrogenate—to chemically combine a substance with hydrogen.
The process typically converts liquid oils into solid or semi-solid fats: The factory hydrogenates vegetable oil to make margarine.
Partially hydrogenated oils, once common in processed foods, produce trans fats now recognized as unhealthy.
