Margarine is formed using unsaturated vegetable fats by _________________ Correct Answer hydrogenation

Solid shortenings such as margarine are formed by chemically reducing the double bonds present in polyunsaturated vegetables with hydrogen atoms. This hydrogenation process also converts some of the cis-double bonds to trans-double bonds which are straight rather than kinked; called partially hydrogenated or trans-fats.
