Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydrogenation of vegetable oils increases their shelf life because the double bonds are removed,which renders the fatty acids less vulnerable to oxidation;therefore,a food made with vegetable oil may have a shorter shelf life.Use of vegetable oil does not necessarily result in a different flavor from use of hydrogenated fat and does not make the food feel more oily.Foods made with vegetable oils are less likely to contribute to cardiovascular disease than those made with hydrogenated fats,which contain saturated and trans fatty acids.
