What it is
Fully hydrogenated rapeseed oil is a type of fat made from rapeseed oil that has undergone a process called full hydrogenation. This process adds hydrogen atoms to the oil's unsaturated fatty acids, making the oil solid at room temperature. It is distinct from partially hydrogenated oils because full hydrogenation removes virtually all unsaturated bonds, preventing the formation of artificial trans fats.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use fully hydrogenated rapeseed oil to improve the texture, stability, and shelf life of food products. It provides structure and a creamy mouthfeel, making it suitable for baked goods, confectionery, and snacks. Its solid nature helps prevent products from becoming oily or sticky.
Health notes
Fully hydrogenated oils, including rapeseed oil, are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Unlike partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs), which are no longer GRAS since 2018 due to their artificial trans fat content, fully hydrogenated oils contain negligible amounts of artificial trans fat. JECFA has evaluated hydrogenated oils and determined that fully hydrogenated oils do not pose the same health concerns as PHOs.
Allergen info
Rapeseed oil, from which fully hydrogenated rapeseed oil is derived, is not considered one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA.
