 What is hydrogenation ?

Hydrogenation – meaning, to treat with hydrogen – is a chemical

reaction between molecular hydrogen (H2) and another compound or
element, usually in the presence of a catalyst such as nickel, palladium
or platinum.
● The process is commonly employed to reduce or saturate organic
compounds

● Hydrogenation typically constitutes the addition of pairs of

hydrogen atoms to a molecule, often an alkene.

● Catalysts are required for the reaction to be usable; non-catalytic

hydrogenation takes place only at very high temperatures.
● Hydrogenation reduces double and triple bonds in hydrocarbons
Edible oil
● Oils extracted from seeds, or less often, from other parts of fruits. Like animal fats,
vegetable fats are mixtures of triglycerides Soybean oil, rapeseed oil, and cocoa
butter are examples of fats from seeds.

● Olive oil, palm oil, and rice bran oil are examples of fats from other parts of fruits.
 Raw materials

Major raw raw materials are oil to be hardened, and purified hydrogen which can be
obtained from several sources such as:

● Electrolytic h20 or Chlor alkali.

● Steam iron:Rxn of steam on “Fe” followed by regeneration with water gas.

● Synthesis gas process.

 Challenges Facing in the Oil Production
India is world’s largest importer of edible oil. The demand supply gap is such huge that India has 60-65%
import dependency in case of edible oils.

One of the biggest constraints to raising oilseed output has been that production is largely in rain-fed areas.
Only one fourth of the oilseed producing area in the country remains under the irrigation.

Measures to improve Oilseed Production

Key measures to improve oilseeds production include :-

● Bringing additional oilseed areas under irrigation Promotion

● Promotion of modern crop technology and better dry farming Promoting oil palm cultivation.
● Strengthen the oilseed crop seed chain, particularly in groundnut to match the variety specific demand
for higher yield.
