Abstract
A process for partially and selectively hydrogenating a natural oil is disclosed which comprises the step of treating said natural oil in the presence of a nickel catalyst and such an amount of an organic nitrogen-containing basic compound which is equivalent to from about 5 to about 40 atoms of nitrogen per 100 atoms of nickel with hydrogen. By this process, liquid hydrogenation products are obtained and the formation of trans-isomers and/or conjugated dienes and/or saturated compounds is substantially reduced.
