Abstract

Highly unsaturated oils of vegetable or animal origin are selectively hydenated to less highly unsaturated oils using a catalytic composition obtained by dissolving a compound of a metal selected from the IB, IV B to VII B or VIII groups in an unsaturated oil and then adding thereto an organic derivative or hydride of a metal from groups I A, II A, II B or III A, in the absence of a stabilizing solvent.
