The process of adding hydrogen to an unsaturated fatty acid and creating a more solid fat is called

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks for the term describing the process of adding hydrogen to an unsaturated fatty acid to produce a more solid fat.
Option 1: 'hydrogenation' — This is the correct concept. Hydrogenation involves adding hydrogen across carbon–carbon double bonds in unsaturated fats, converting them toward more saturated fats, which tends to raise the melting point and make the fat more solid at room temperature.
Option 2: 'deamination' — Deamination refers to the removal of an amino group from an amino acid or other molecule, not a process applied to fatty acids. This misapplies a term from amino acid chemistry to lipids, making it incorrect in this context.
Option 3: 'emulsification' — Emulsification is the process of mixing two immiscible liquids, like oil and water, often aided by emulsifiers. It does not involve chemical hydrogen addition to fatty acids, so it does not describe hydrogenation.
Option 4: 'pressurization' — Pressurization involves applying pressure, which in some industrial contexts can affect reactions, but it does not specify adding hydrogen to unsaturated fats to make them more solid. Therefore this option does not capture the described chemical transformation.
