Hydrogenation adds hydrogen to an edible vegetable oil using a catalyst. The hydrogenation helps to produce fat with a semi-solid consistency. Oils that are hydrogenated gain resistance to rancidity. The hydrogenation also helps to change the physical appearance of the oil by adding flavour and texture to it.

Hydrogenation increases the shelf life of oils which is beneficial for both producer and end-user. The product is available in solid or semi-solid form in partially hydrogenated or fully hydrogenated types for its use. It has applications in various food manufacturing and food service industries. The growing demand for hydrogenated oil in the processed food industry is boosting the market.

Hydrogenated edible oil improves the taste and texture of the product and also in other parameters, favouring the food manufacturers for its use. The increased end-use applications of the product also increased the need for the use of different hydrogenation techniques application in the market for their production. With betterment in the processing of the oils, the market reached high expansion.

These hydrogenated oils can extend the shelf life of products and reduce spoilage, giving the manufacturer the benefits of their use.

Health Risks Related to the Excess Consumption of Hydrogenated Oils

The hydrogenated oil contains trans fats which raise the bad LDL cholesterol and lower the good HDL cholesterol. The increased consumption of these oils can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. According to WHO January 2023, five billion people globally remain unprotected from harmful trans fat.

WHO reported that industrially produced trans fats are found in packaged foods, baked goods, cooking oils and spreads and are reported to be responsible for up to 500,000 premature deaths from coronary heart disease each year around the world. FDA cancelled the generally recognized safe status of partially hydrogenated oils to ensure the correct health conditions of the people. The regulatory and health issues related to the use of the product restrain the growth market.
