The effect of preparation methods condition on the activity of palladium and platinum catalysts towards hydrogenation of palm olein

The hydrogenation of vegetable oils is an important practice in the modification of fats and oils especially to increase the stability of the oil. Highly unsaturated oil is susceptible to autoxidation, thermal decomposition and other reactions that affect the quality and flavor. Consequen...
