INTRODUCTION
Hydrogenation is the process to change the physical characteristics of natural fats and oils.
Hydrogenation of vegetable oils/fatty acids involves the addition of hydrogen, in the presence of
a Nickel catalyst, to the carbon-carbon double bonds present in the fatty acid chains. The
hydrogenation can assist in storing the product easily. This will also assist in keeping up the
quality of the product. It is really necessary to maintain the temperature of hydrogenation
machine so that they quality of the product which has been stored inside it cannot be reduced.
There are various advantages which are also been related to making use of this type of machine.
It is basically been used in order to keep the flavour and also to keep the quality of the oil that
has been used inside the product which has been stored. The hydrogenation machine is basically
been used by the food industry. This machine is providing various kind of benefits to the users
who are been using it. They can store food for the large amount of time inside the hydrogenation
machine.
This machine is basically been used in order to keep the shell –life of the food product. It
has been analysed from the research that leaders and managers of food industry must be involved
in maintaining the safe temperature of hydrogenation machine. It has been analysed that when
pre-treat the fresh catalyst with hydrogen at 130 – 150 °C to remove the surface oxidation. When
the latter is been removed the hydrogenation machine must be kept at the lower than 90 degree.
This will assist the leaders and manager of food industry in keeping up the shelf life of the food.
The nutrients of the food will also be preserved when the safe temperature is been maintained.
Hydrogenation also tends to be a highly exothermic reaction, resulting in demanding temperature
control requirements. The maximum temperature of this type of machine is 440 degree (Amar
and et.al., 2019). If the temperature is not maintained than severe consequences can occur. In
order to overcome from the consequence serrated to hydrogenation machine it should be kept
and maintained at the safe temperature. This will assist leaders and managers in keeping the
quality of the food which has been stored in it. This will also allow them to keep the food shelf
life.
Present report will lay emphasis on the importance of maintaining the safe temperature for
the hydrogenation machine. The purpose and background of the research will also be discussed.
It will also provide the risk associated with project. The change management theories and
concepts used by the leaders will also be discussed. It will help researcher in achieving their
3

goals and objectives. It will also be involved in discussing the Impact of Change- from a
professional and organisational perspective. The reflection report will also be involved in the
research. This will include the strength and weakness related to leader based on report.
Aim
To maintain the safe temperature of hydrogenation machine so that the shelf life of food can be
preserved (Biagini and et.al., 2019). The project will aim to discuss this by analysing and
evaluating all leadership and management approaches related to it. The main purpose of maintain
the temperature is to enhance the quality of food and also to preserve the nutrients involved in it.
Objectives

The use of hydrogenation machine is been increasing day by day and mostly it is been used
by the food industry. It has been analysed that it is really necessary to maintain the safe
temperature of this machine in order to save the shelf life of the food products. Hydrogenation
process is basically been used to convert the unsaturated fats and oil into the saturated one. It can
also be done adequately by keeping the machine at the safe level (Le and et.al., 2018). It is really
necessary to keep the machine at safe temperature as if not maintained then various
consequences can occur and food can reduce their shelf life. In order to use this machine
perfectly the leaders must be involved in providing training to individuals so that no error occurs
while making use of it. This will assist in keeping up the nutrients in the food. It will also help
them in increasing the food life. Training by leaders related to maintaining safe temperature of
hydrogenation machine can also reduce the possibilities of error in the workplace. It will assist
them in converting the unsaturated fats and oil into saturated ones. It will be beneficial for the
food industry to make use of this type of machine.
Statement of Intent
The purpose of the project is to maintain the safe temperature of hydrogenation machine so that
food shelf life can be secured (Singh and et.al., 2020). The main purpose is to reduce the
4

accidental errors related to the hydrogenation process by adequately maintaining the safe
temperature. It will be beneficial for them to keep the flavour and also to keep the quality of the
oil that has been used inside the product which has been stored. Furthermore, it has been
demonstrated the process of intensification concept which enabled by other micro channel
reactors in term of energy efficient catalytic hydrogenation react at temperature. In order to
design, evaluate, optimise and fabricated the micro channel in term of hydrogenation. In another
phase, it will be used the hydrogenation technique for purpose of commercialization. In some
situation, it can be designed and developed automated multichannel which providing the better
service. it capable of processing 1-10 kg of liquid substrate. According to industrial purpose
which are relevant to immiscible liquid and successfully demonstrate through process.
Background
The use of hydrogenation machine is been increasing and also this machine is helping in
keeping the nutrient inside the food safe. It is also be useful in easily storing the food product. It
is usually helpful in solidifying the fat liquid due to more induced dipole interactions. It has also
been analyzed that the safe temperature must be maintained of the hydrogenation machine so that
accidental errors can be reduced.
The present invention of hydrogenation machine is generally related to fresh food which
composition of coating with materials. It can be used the method of application to provide the
better shelf life. Many food item has begun to dehydrate as well as deteriorate so that it can
easily lose their nutrition level and its physical characteristics. So as require to maintain
precautions which undertaken dehydrated method or technique which support for increasing
shelf-life of wide range of food items. Beyond this time, it has required to change the
deterioration which mainly occurred with development of undesirable color, odor, and tissue
breakdown until item is no longer edible. Therefore, it will be using the hydrogenation machine
which supports for improving the flavor stability. It also keep maintain the qualities of oil
because unhydrogenated oil can easily turn into rancid. It automatically unsaturated the carbon
atom which being free to bond to another oxygen atom. In particularly, the complete
hydrogenation will create a product containing only saturated fats. It is typically has a solid and
consistency that will be not appropriate for purpose of cooking.
Furthermore, hydrogenated machine can be performed different activities, typically
consider a mixture of refined oil as well as powered of nickel. It can be pumped into large
5

amount of capacity into cylindrical pressure reactor. In order to increase the temperature because
heat generated. Afterwards, hydrogen gas is easily pumped into different bottom of reactor and
everything continuously working in step by step manner. Sometimes, it has been distributed of
rising gas bubbles throughout liquid oil. Through high temperature and pressure which
automatically ensuring the carbon in oil that are not fully emerged with hydrogen bond. There
are some significant carbon reaction occurs and also established the chemical bond with
hydrogen atom. As becoming hydrogenated machine works and begin to straighten out and stick
with another one.

C is essential. As per the, the hydrogenation machine provides an effective facility to the
manager and leaders of food industry by keeping and marinating the shelf life of food. For
properly preservation of food's nutrients it is very essential to maintain the safe temperature of
hydrogenation machine. As per the Li and et.al., (2019) the leaders and manager should have
knowledge that the maximum temperature of this machine is 440 degree. If any cases the
temperature is not maintain that it can occour various conscious and so that to removes these
problems the company should have to apply temperature control equipments occour.
According to the author the uses of hydrogenation machine is been enhancing day by day in the
food industries. It is generally a process that has been use to transform the unsaturated oil and
facts into the saturated one. For the proper use of this machine, the leaders of the food industry
should have to arrange effective training programs for the employees and workers so that
minimum errors occur during the use of it. This type of effective training programs has the
workers to improve their performance and the capability of operating the hydrogenation machine
at the work place. Ohyama, Nishimura and Takahashi., (2019) states that maintain the adequate
temperature during the hydrogenation process can decrease various experimental errors.
The hydrogenation process includes the addition hydrogenation [H2] to developed
chemical reaction with hydro carbons [organic compounds] it is majorly used and usually
important in the food industry where hydrogen molecules are combined to unsaturated fats and
vegetable oils. There are many reasons for the use hydrogenation process to make the oils more
spreadable or solid. This can helpful for the food industry to maintain the food quality and its
flavors stability. In the industry, the hydrogenation process is also used in to transform vegetable
oil into vanaspati ghee. Hydrogenation process creates oils more solid and stable as per the room
temperature. It increases the backing quality of the liquid oil, texture and taste of the end
product.

Problems related to
communication
High risk It has been analyzed that
while maintaining the safe
temperature, there can be
various issues related to
communication. This can
increase the risk of accidents.
Leaders will also be involved
in making sure that the roles
and responsibilities of each
employee have been
communicated effectively so
that no
chances of errors occur. This
will also reduce down the
risk of project failing. This
aspect will assist leaders in
making the project successful
and achieving of goals and
objectives.
Budget over-limit Moderate risk In this they need to keep
regulating all the activities
related to project so that
