Rice · Answer 1

a. hydrogenated vegetable oil

Explanation:

Hydrogenated vegetable oil -

It is found in many common food ingredients.

The hydrogenated vegetable oil is composed of oils that are extracted from sunflowers, olives plants etc.

These oils are liquid at room temperature, and to convert it to solid, the compound is saturated with hydrogen molecules, i. e., hydrogen molecules are added, which changes the taste and texture of the oil.

The process of hydrogenation forms trans fats, which is unsaturated in nature and is therefore harmful for health.
