What process is used to prepare a number of useful prod-
ucts such as margarines and cooking shortenings from

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Vegetable shortening is a semisolid fat that is mostly solid at room temperature. It is named for the “short” or crumbly texture that it produces in cooking and baking applications, particularly in shortbread, piecrusts and puff pastry. Vegetable shortening inhibits the formation of long, tough strands of gluten in dough and contributes a light texture.

Vegetable shortening is typically made from hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, such as corn, cottonseed or soybean
