Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Trans fat is the type of lipid formed during oil hydrogenation that allows for a spreadable product at room temperature. Saturated fat and cholesterol can also contribute to solidifying fats, but they occur naturally and are not directly linked to hydrogenation. Healthy fat is not a specific category of lipid and does not relate to this process.
