Product type
Hydrogenated vegetable fat is a type of fat derived from vegetable oils that have undergone hydrogenation, a process that alters the fatty acid composition to create a more stable product. This fat is typically solid or semi-solid at room temperature and is used to enhance texture and extend shelf life in various food applications. It is commonly utilized in the production of baked goods, confectionery, and processed foods due to its ability to improve mouthfeel and maintain structure.
