a question about transfats, partially hydrogenated oils

[kellbrook]

the liquid cooking oil, that says vegitable oil or vegitable oil blend is not hydrogenated right? hydrogenated oils are usually solid at room temperature right? i checked the label coudn't find any mention if it was hydrogenated or not. thanks

It will likely contain cis-fatty acids, so it will not be fully hydrogenated. You are right to assumer that fully hydrogenated fats will typically be solid at or around room temperature. There may be some hydrogenated oils in vegetable oil, I'm not sure, but the majority of it will be cis-fatty acids.
