1. Butter made from hydrogenated oils is flakier than naturally saturated oils.
a) True
b) False

  Discussion

Answer: a
Explanation: Butter made from hydrogenated oils is flakier than naturally saturated oils. This is because the hydrogen added in making the oils saturated is generally added to the ends of the chain, making it more brittle.

2. Which of the following is untrue?
a) Saturation might be to ↓ rancidity
b) As saturation ↑, viscosity and MP ↑
c) Partial hydrogenation leads to Trans fats which are unhealthy
d) None of the mentioned

  Discussion

Answer: d
Explanation: All the given statements are true

3. Which of the following does NOT refer to sparging of oil?
a) Oil is kept in vacuum and heated to smoke point. Water is introduced through the bottom
b) Water gets converted to steam
c) The steam bubbles through the oil and separates water-insoluble impurities
d) None of the mentioned

  Discussion

Answer: c
Explanation: In Sparging of Oil, Oil is kept in vacuum and heated to smoke point. Water is introduced through the bottom. The water gets converted to steam. The steam bubbles through the oil and separates water-soluble impurities.
