About this document

JM Technical Bulletin - Trans Reduction by Kathe Molina Carvajal is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The document discusses how to reduce the formation of trans fats when partially hydrogenating oils in existing reactor systems. It explains that trans fats form when there is insufficient hydrogen available for complete saturation of carbon-carbon double bonds. The amount of trans fats produced can be reduced by increasing the hydrogen concentration during reaction, such as by using lower reactor temperatures or higher hydrogen pressures.
