Answer:
False.
Explanation:
The process of the preparation of vanaspati ghee(or dalda) is a hydrogenation reaction, where the unsaturated compound(Vegetable oil) gets converted into saturated compound (Vanaspati ghee) by heating it with hydrogen in the presence of nickel as the catalyst. Here, the unsaturated compound in other words adds hydrogen to itself to reduce its double or triple (pi) bonds into one single bond. So as the final product, we get vanaspati ghee as the saturated compound.
