is Vegetable Oil a partially hydrogenated oil?!


Question: Is Vegetable Oil a partially hydrogenated oil?
and does it contain saturated fat? Or unsaturated fat?

Answers:

Hydrogenation is not found in nature, so oils aren't hydrogenated or partially-hydrogenated unless WE do it...and you can just read on the label if you're unsure. Hydrogenation helps make liquid oils into solids at room temperature, so if your oil is a liquid it's not hydrogenated.



In their natural state, no oils are hydrogenated. Oils are hydrogenated to produce solid shortening and in processed foods.

Vegetable oils differ on the amount of saturated, mono-saturated, polyunsaturated and unsaturated fatty acids they contain. It depends on the type of vegetable oil



Most vegetable oils are actually soybean oil. Look on the labels to see if they're partially hydrogenated or not. Usually blended oils(two or more blended together) are hydrogenated.



With the exception of coconut oil, all vegetable oils are unsaturated oils
