Partial hydrogenation in margarine
Margarine is a semi-solid butter substitute created from vegetable oil, which is typically unsaturated and therefore liquid at room temperature. The process of partial hydrogenation adds hydrogen atoms and reduces the double bonds in the fatty acids, creating a semi-solid vegetable oil at room temperature.
