Which of the following statements about partial hydrogenation are correct?
A. Partial hydrogenation converts some of all of the cis double bonds in a vegetable oil
to single bonds. This decreases the melting point of the lipid and makes it more 'solid'.
B. Partial hydrogenation converts some of the trans double bonds in a vegetable oil to
cis double bonds. This increases the melting point of the lipid and makes it more 'solid'.
C. Partial hydrogenation converts some of the cis double bonds in a vegetable oil to
trans double bonds. This increases the melting point of the lipid and makes it more
'solid'.
D. Partial hydrogenation converts some of the cis double bonds in a vegetable oil to
trans single bonds. This decreases the melting point of the lipid and makes it more
liquid. - Answer C. Partial hydrogenation converts some of the cis double bonds in a
