So, what is grăsime vegetală parțial hidrogenată?
Grăsime vegetală parțial hidrogenată is a type of vegetable fat that has undergone partial hydrogenation, a process that converts liquid oils into solid fats. This ingredient is commonly used in the food industry as a substitute for animal fat due to its lower cost and longer shelf life. However, consuming foods high in partially hydrogenated vegetable fat has been linked to increased risk of heart disease and other health issues. As a result, many countries have banned or restricted the use of this ingredient in food products.
