hydrogenating
Infusing with hydrogen
Hydrogenating is adding hydrogen to a substance, usually through a chemical reaction.
The process typically involves forcing hydrogen gas into oils or other compounds under pressure, often with a catalyst.
Hydrogenating vegetable oils converts them from liquids to solids, creating products like margarine and shortening: Partially hydrogenated oils contain trans fats.
