The reaction which is commonly used in the conversion of vegetable oils to fats is called hydrogenation reaction.
In this process hydrogen is added to unsaturated hydrocarbon. This is an addition reaction which takes place in the presence of catalyst; like palladium or nickel.
Addition of hydrogen leads to conversion of unsaturated hydrocarbon to saturated hydrocarbon.

The reaction used in the process of conversion of vegetable oil into vegetable ghee is known as hydrogenatio.
In this process unsaturated hydrocarbons are converted into saturated hydrocarbons by adding hydrogen in the presence of catalysts such as palladium or nickel.
Hydrogenation of vegetable oil:
Vegetable oils are unsaturated compounds containing double bonds. They are liquid at room temperature. Due to the presence of double bonds, vegetable oil undergo addition reaction with hydrogen just like alkenes to form saturated product called vegetable ghee or vanaspati ghee which are solid at room temperature.
C=C +H²_ni catalyst____C-C
