Fat Modification Techniques
⚫ Hydrogenation : To treat oil with H2 and catalyst to decrease double bonds and
increase saturated bonds.
⚫ Reaction Result
Saturation of double bonds
Migration of double
bonds
Trans-fatty acid formation
⚫ Advantages of Hydrogenation
Making fat suitable for manufacture of margarine,
shortening, coating fats, cooking oil and salad dressing
oil.

(Trans Fatty acid)
Public Health and Trans Fatty Acids
⚫ Trans fats raise your bad (LDL) cholesterol levels and lower your good
(HDL) cholesterol levels.
⚫ Consuming trans fats increases your risk of developing heart disease
and stroke.
⚫ It’s also associated with a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes
(American Hearth Association).
PALM OIL BASED SOLUTIONS
Dry fractionization
Fractional Crystallization of Palm oil
Alternative Techniques for Fat Modification
⚫ Interesterification
Acyl migration occurs between triglicerydes.
High temperature catalysts:KOH and NaOH
Low temperature catalysts: Sodium Methoxide (NaOCH3)
Effect of Interesterification on SCI
⚫ Oxidative stability
High temperature application for long periods of time cause thermal
