While
this food is pretty tasty, sometimes the vendors on the streets choose to do
cost cutting and use Dalda (a form of hydrogenated vegetable oil, like
margarine, a.k.a Vanaspati Ghee). Hydrogenated vegetable oil often leads to
formation of trans fat molecules. The bottom inset in the figures shows
different molecules A, B and C which could be involved in this process.

Question

Answer

In B, the
presence of a double bond leads to a kink formation, and this molecule is saturated with hydrogen bonds.

Answer

C shows fat
molecules that are solid at room temperature and are the product of
hydrogenation.

Answer

B shows fat
molecules that are liquid at standard room temperature and are the product of
hydrogenation.

Answer

In C, even
though the molecule was originally a liquid at room temperature, the addition
of hydrogen bonds makes it more saturated and more solid at room temperature.
However, incomplete hydrogenation leads to the formation of some trans double
bonds.

Answer

A shows fat
molecules that are tightly packed and form a solid at standard room
temperature.
