Question

What type of carbon-carbon bonds are present in vanaspati ghee?

• A. single bonds
• B. double bonds
• C. triple bonds
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A single bonds

Saturated Alkane Hydrocarbon is the carbon-carbon bond seen in Vanaspati ghee.

A process called 'Hydrogenation' is carried out in converting unsaturated alkene hydrocarbon into saturated alkane hydrocarbon.

Vegetable oils are converted into vanaspati ghee by hydrogenation (treating with hydrogen). Here, unsaturated carbon-carbon double bonds are converted into saturated fatty vanaspati ghee.
