WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Two Purdue University researchers have developed a hydrogenation process that could solidify soybean oil for food processing without creating trans fats, which have been linked ...

Ever wonder how we take plants from nature and turn them into a liquid or solid state fat? It takes about 17 steps to turn seeds into oil. Hydrogenation is the process that turns polyunsaturated fats ...

video: UJ researchers take a novel step to change hydrogenation into a safe, low energy process. They use a very stable three phase emulsion to transform a toxic waste product into valuable feedstock.

A research team reports a pioneering plasma-catalytic process for the hydrogenation of CO2 to methanol at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. This breakthrough addresses the limitations of ...

A palladium-based catalyst on diatomite — a siliceous powder derived from the remains of fossilized algae — could help lower levels of unhealthy ‘trans fats’ in hydrogenated oils like those in ...
