Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Corn oil that has undergone full hydrogenation (meaning all of the double bonds in the oil have been saturated with hydrogen atoms) would be most solid at room temperature and most resistant to oxidation. This is because full hydrogenation creates trans fats, which have a solid consistency and are resistant to oxidation. Tropical oils, such as coconut oil and palm oil, are also solid at room temperature but contain high levels of saturated fats and may increase the risk of heart disease. Omega-3 enriched, trans-fat-free margarine and flaxseed oil are liquid at room temperature and not as resistant to oxidation as fully hydrogenated oils.
