Solution
The correct option is D STATEMENT-1 is False, STATEMENT-2 is True Option (D) is correct. S−1: Animal fat is saturated while cotton seed oil is also saturated. Cotton seed oil is a plant fat (vegetable product), but some of them are also saturated. S−2: Oils are converted into fats by hydrogenation. Vegetable oils which are hydrogenated, are partially saturated so the melting point increases to the point where a solid is present at room temperature. The degree of hydrogenation of unsaturated oils controls the final consistency of the product.
