HYDROGENATING Meaning and
Definition
-
Hydrogenating is a chemical process of combining hydrogen with another substance, often a fat or oil, in order to produce a specific desired result. It is a method commonly used in the food industry to transform liquid vegetable oils into solid fats, such as margarine or shortening, which have a higher melting point and can be used in various culinary applications.
During hydrogenation, hydrogen gas is introduced into a reaction vessel along with the oil or fat. The mixture is then heated and pressurized, causing the hydrogen atoms to bind with the fat molecules. This process alters the molecular structure of the fat, converting unsaturated fats into saturated fats. It also forms trans fats, which are not naturally occurring in significant amounts and have been associated with negative health effects when consumed in large quantities.
The purpose of hydrogenating is to improve the consistency, texture, and shelf life of food products. It can increase the stability of oils by reducing their potential for oxidation and rancidity. Additionally, hydrogenating can create a smoother and creamier texture in certain food items, making them more appealing to consumers.
It is worth noting that due to increasing concerns about the health implications of trans fats, many food manufacturers have begun using alternative methods, such as interesterification, to achieve similar results without producing trans fats.

Etymology of HYDROGENATING
The word "hydrogenating" is derived from the combination of two words: "hydrogen" and "ate".
1. "Hydrogen" is derived from the Greek word "hydro" (water) and the suffix "-gen" (to produce). The term was coined by French chemist Antoine Lavoisier in 1783 when he discovered that hydrogen gas is produced when certain substances are dissolved in water.
2. The suffix "-ate" in this context is a common chemical term indicating that a particular substance or compound has combined with or been acted upon by another element or compound. In chemistry, "ate" is often associated with oxygen or sulfur compounds.
Combining these elements, "hydrogenating" refers to the process of adding hydrogen to a substance or compound, usually through a chemical reaction called hydrogenation.
