The answer of your question is "nickel " catalyst
But the catalyst like platinum as well as the palladium can also be used e used.
Hydrogenation is actually the process in which molecular hydrogen is used and reacted with the oil or other compounds in order saturate the organic compounds This process is employed to make the vegetable ghee
in the industries from the oil
While the function of catalyst is to accelerate the hydrogenation process..

The most common catalyst used in the hydrogenation of oils is - Raney Nickel catalyst.
Raney nickel is used as a reagent and as a catalyst in organic chemistry. It was developed in 1926 by American engineer Murray Raney for the hydrogenation of vegetable oils.
Hydrogenation 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.
The largest scale application of hydrogenation is for the processing of vegetable oils. Typical vegetable oils are derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids (containing more than one carbon-carbon double bond).
During hydrogenation, vegetable oils are reacted with hydrogen gas at about 60ºC. A nickel catalyst is used to speed up the reaction. The double bonds are converted to single bonds in the reaction. In this way unsaturated fats can be made into saturated fats i.e. they are hardened.
