Abstract

A process for selectively hydrogenating polyenic compounds in oils, especially edible oils containing esters of polyenic fatty acids is disclosed, wherein the formation of saturated compounds and trans isomers is low. The process comprises hydrogenating said oils in the presence of a catalyst comprising nickel on a titanium oxide carrier, wherein the per weight ratio nickel:carrier is between about 1.5 and about 4.5.
