Answer 2

Vegetable oil is also called as triglycerides. They are made of three fatty acid molecules which are linked to each other with the help of ester bonds. Most of the vegetable oils are found in their unsaturated form, i.e., having double bonds. Most vegetable oils found commercially are mixtures of a large selection of vegetable oils such as:

• Palmitic acid (C_{16}H_{32}O_2)
• Oleic acid (C_{18}H_{34}O_2)
• Linoleic acid (C_{18}H_{32}O_2)

Hydrogenation or hydrogen addition to a vegetable oil leads to the formation of vasnaspati ghee or hydrogenated vegetable oils. "Hydrogenation" is a process of addition of hydrogen, the shelf life of the product extends significantly. However, this process forms saturated fatty acids. Chemical formula for Vanaspati ghee is: (C_{17}H_{33} COO)_3 C_3H_5
