Title of the Research
Importance of Temperature and Maintain Safe Temperature to Preserve Nutrients in
Hydrogenation process.
Introduction
Background of the Research
The investigation initiates to determine the potential importance of temperature and maintaining
a safe temperature to preserve nutrients in hydrogenation process. Therefore, food is determined
as the primary need of individual as in the modern era individual are very much concern about
their health and wellbeing and people are preferring effective food that are full of nutrition’s and
healthy preservatives for the intention to maintaining the effective health condition (Bai, and
et.al, 2017). Food basically renders the ideal mix of vitamins, minerals and the other nutrients,
But the nutrients in food begins to decrease as soon as the food articles are picked and continues
to decline until it is eaten. The earlier individual eats the food, the less chance of nutrient loss.
Therefore, the water-soluble vitamins, mainly thiamine, folic acid and vitamin C, that can be
destroyed during improper storage and excessive cooking, heat, exposure to air, light, cooking in
water and alkalinity are all factors which can destroy vitamins. In the case of food is not eaten
within several days, then freezing is recognised as the best option to retain nutrients of food and
provide suitable health benefits to the people. Thus the Frozen fruits and vegetables are better
than the grocer’s ones if they have been processed immediately after harvesting. Balancing
naturally stops enzymatic changes which destroys vitamins. Hydrogenation is defined as the
chemical process which adds hydrogen to the unsaturated bonds on the FA chains attached to the
TAG backbone. In this way, an unsaturated fat can be turned into a saturated fat and increase its
melting point (Bauer, and et.al., 2018). The parameters which influences the extent of saturation
during hydrogenation involve the un-saturation of the liquid oil, the H2 pressure, oil temperature,
and the type of solid catalyst. Therefore, in the process of preserve nutrition in the hydrogenation
process temperature maintenance is the is the fundamental objective to maintain the health
perspective of the food and also provide suitable preservatives to providing suitable health
benefits to the people. The hydrogenation procedure develops the melting point of the fat that
alters liquid oil into solid shortening. This procedure stops the decay or rancidity of unsaturated
fats. Through controlling the degree of hydrogenation, it is possible to control the melting profile
3

of the fats. Therefore, the suitable assessments of temperature within preserving nutrition within
the hydrogenation process is imperative for the purpose of protecting the food and vegetables for
long time and also manage their preserves involving the vitamins, oil proteins and so on.

Literature Review
This is the second and important chapter of the dissertation; therefore, literature review is
defined as a comprehensive description of the past investigation over a specified investigation
area. The literature review analysis refers as scholarly articles, books and other resources which
are relevant to a particular region of the investigation (Hu, and et.al, 2020). Therefore, this
section of investigation is effective in developing theoretical framework which helps in
providing descriptive analysis which supports the entire project in effective manner to drawn

Hydrogenation process. However, this section of investigation is imperative in providing
descriptive evaluation which helps the entire work in exploring individual recognition about the
significant area and helps in resolving the issue effectively.
The concept of Preserve Nutrients in Hydrogenation process.
According to Raid (2020), Hydrogenation is defined as the process where the hydrogen
atoms bind to the double bond if a compound, facilitating its conversion to a single bond, within
the presence of a catalyst. Therefore, this process is mainly implemented during the
manufacturing of the food products where unsaturated fats and oils are converted to the saturated
fats and oils. The hydrogenation of fats and oils and their oleo chemical derivatives likewise fatty
acids, fatty acid esters and fatty nitrides has proven to be a very useful and versatile way to
modify these starting materials. The Hydrogenation process mainly includes the chemical
addition of hydrogen to the unsatu- rated carbon - to - carbon double bonds in a fatty-oil or fatty-
acid molecule. Therefore, the reaction is basically carried out by integration of the heated oil and
hydrogen gas in the pres- ence of a catalyst.
7

In the hydrogenation process, hydrogen gas mainly reacts with liquid oil at prominent
temperatures and the pressures in the occurrence of a solid catalyst. Hence, the hydrogenation of
edible oils is always carried out as a consignment procedure (Huang, and et.al, 2018). Oil is
preheated through the past batch and the means (nickel on an inert support) is added effectively
or the hydrogen gas is dispersed in the oil widely. Therefore, the hydrogenation is an exothermic
reaction so the temperature of the batch beings to rise and has to be managed by cooling. The
reaction is continued until the goods and services properties are intended for have been reached
(partial hydrogenation). The catalyst is disconnected through filtration and residual nickel is
removed in a post-bleaching step.
Although, the saturation and the isomerization of double bonds also takes place at the
time of the hydrogenation process. Thus, the two types of isomerization reaction will occur:
geometric isomerization (cis–trans) and positional isomerization (shift of double bond along the
fatty acid chain). The total reaction mechanism is quite complex since of the many steps included
or it is still not yet fully analysed and kinetically quantified. Food products carries assorted
vitamins and minerals that are susceptible to destruction by air, light, water, acid, alkali, heat,
time and the action of enzymes in the foods themselves. However, individual can cut losses and
significantly develop their nutrient intake by the care you take in choosing, storing and cooking
foods. Therefore, people in the modern era are very much concern over intake nutrition’s and
healthy food for protecting themselves from the health issues, thus an effective food helps people
to live long.
The significance of managing safe temperature to Preserve Nutrients in Hydrogenation process.
According to Bonrath, Medlock, Schütz, Wüstenberg and Netscher (2011), Safe temperature
means the favourable temperature for food to be stored. Different foods have different
temperatures to be preserved in as unfavourable temperatures can spoil the food product. A safe
temperature should be managed in order to keep the food save for eating and also to preserve its
nutrients. Hydrogenation is a chemical reaction between the molecule of hydrogen and the other
compound or element usually in presence of catalyst. Hydrogenation should be carried out in
safe temperature to preserve the nutrients of the of the food product. A safe temperature should
be provided to the food as in absence of safe temperature the bond of hydrogen can weaken up
and it can have reaction with another compound or element which will result in decomposition of
the product (Ibrahim, 2020). Safe temperature to be managed at the time of hydrogenation also
8

helps in preserving the product to get waste and make it favourable to eat. It also helps to
maintain the originality of the product. The management of safe temperature also reduces the
formation of trans fat during the process of conversion of unsaturated fats to the saturated fats by
hydrogenation process. Trans fat is the side reaction with the catalysts of the hydrogenation
process. It is generally found in baked goods, deep fried food, margarine, etc. and tends to raise
LDL – cholesterol and lower the HDL – cholesterol. In short, managing safe temperature will
help in ensuring that food is safe to eat , assure about the food is cooled and chilled properly and
that should be reheated properly to reduce risk of harmful bacteria levels.
The impact of maintaining safe temperature over Preserve Nutrients in Hydrogenation process.
According to Sheng-hao Ji (2019), Maintaining safe environment will ultimately help in
preserving essential nutrients to the food. The food is good because of their nutrients only and
not maintaining safe environment will result in loss of essential nutrients in the food. Just like in
hydrogenated oils if safe temperature is not maintained then it will have led to making of trans
fat which is not good for health to consume. Maintaining safe environment will result in less
trans-fat in the hydrogenated oil which provides good cholesterol i.e. HDL to a body.
Maintaining safe environment will enhance the health factor of the food also and make it healthy
to eat (Li, and et.al, 2019). It will preserve the essential vitamins, omega and oils of the food to
make it healthy to eat. As safe temperature helps to protect molecule of hydrogen to react with
other elements or compounds and bound them in their positions which prevents loss of water
from the product. When product loose its water content then it will get dehydrated and dry. To
protect the product of being dry the maintenance of safe temperature is essential. From above
description it is very clear that maintaining safe temperature has a positive impact to preserve
nutrients of food during hydrogenated process.
The measure that can effectively be implemented to maintain the temperature to Preserve
Nutrients in Hydrogenation process.
According to VIRA (2018), There are several measures to maintain the temperature effectively
to preserve the nutrients some of them are discussed here. Firstly, maintaining safe temperature
which means maintaining a temperature in which the food is safe to eat. Which temperature is
safe for food is completely depends on the type of food we are using such as, the potentially
hazardous foods like dairy products and foods, raw meats, cooked meats etc. have their safe
temperature as 5 degree or colder or 60 degree or hotter. Second one is proper guidance
9

regarding food preservatives as different preservatives needs to be stored in different
temperatures. The food product should have a proper guidance of what it contains such as
proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals and water. As to preserve the nutrients of the
food requires these to be preserved but in a ascertained quantity which says a lot about the
storage of product and the temperature required for its health. Another measure to maintain the
temperature is to avoid keeping food outside from refrigerator. Some food products are of nature
which decompose if kept outside of refrigerators and should be kept in the refrigerators. Keeping
food outside the refrigerator will attract bacteria over the food and also reduce the nutrients and
health of the food. It is essential for the health of the consumer of food to properly refrigerate the
product if required to maintain the health of the product (Lin, and et.al, 2019). And lastly for
storing food products only disposable paper towels should be used as it will protect the transfer
of germs of one food to the another one.
As per the views of Sheng-hao Ji (2019), the quality of food products is associated with the
combination of properties, attributes, characteristics and facts which are needed for human
needs. There are several consumers who are involved within managing color and flavour of
various dietary products. These are also associated with nutritional quality as well as vitamins,
dietary fiber, etc. At the time of postharvest storage, organic acids and acid ratio. These are two
essential components of fruit quality whoch are affected by both external as well as internal
factors. In context of low temperature, the most effective way for delaying post harvesting
ripening and deterioration of the crops.
Research Methodology
Research methodology is defined as an effective plan and procedure which is imperative in
providing suitable direction to the researcher to assist the entire research in right manner to
generate appropriate outcome. The selection of methodology is encompassing over the selection
of multiple applications that are significant to the project and assisting the project in the right
manner. In the context of the present investigation work based on the aspect of investigating the
importance of Temperature and Maintaining a Safe Temperature to Preserve Nutrients in
Hydrogenation Process Suitable selection of methodology is important to guiding the project and
right manner. The appropriate selections for the project that are significant for this analysis are
associated as below:
10

Research Strategy: A research strategy is defined as an effective overall plan for executing an
investigation study. A research strategy mainly aids the investigation in planning, executing and
monitoring the entire study in right manner. The suitable selection of research strategy is relay
over two aspects i.e. qualitative and quantitative research project (Sherbo, and et.al., 2018).
Therefore, the selection of methodology is based on the information accumulated to aid the
project in right manner. Qualitative research is imperative in conducting investigation to gain an
accurate understanding of underlying opinions, reasons and motivations. It gives in-depth
insights into the issue or supports to create hypotheses or ideas for potential qualitative study.
Whereas, quantitative research method is imperative in quantifying the issue through creating
numerical data which can be changed within useable statistics. In the context to this present
investigation work based on the aspects of investigating the importance of Temperature and
Maintaining a Safe Temperature to Preserve Nutrients in Hydrogenation process, quantitative
research has been applied by the researcher as it is imperative in aiding the research in the light
of accumulating information within actual facts and figures. Thus, this investigation approach is
most suitable to conduct descriptive statistical evaluation to generate valuable outcome.
Research Philosophy: Research philosophy is identified with allowance of faith based
expectations which concerning the idea of reality bring researched. It is identified with
subordinate clarification of nature of information (Song, and et.al, 2018). Moreover,
presumptions made through Research philosophy theory give justification identified with how
examination will undertake. It is the most enormous strategy where various tools and strategies
are investigated by which information can be effectively related, chose and utilized for
information gathering. The selection of research philosophy is based on two aspects i.e.
positivism and Interpretivism research philosophy. Positivism research philosophy mainly
incorporates over managing reality by variety investigation of free factors, along these lines; it
supports to choose association between sacred parts of social world. Whereas, the Interpretivism
philosophy is imperative in developing theoretical perspective via evaluating individual’s views
based on secondary investigation. In the context to this present investigation work based on the
aspect of evaluating the importance of Temperature and Maintaining a Safe Temperature to
Preserve Nutrients in Hydrogenation process, positivism research philosophy is being
implemented by the researcher, thus it is effective in executing detailed analysis and highly
supportive for quantitative study, thus in this information is gathered via large scale viewpoint of
11

authority which gives knowledge into successful initiative qualities required to support the study
region. Thus, this methodology also effective in gathering information within actual facts and
figures and support the quantitative study effectively.
Research Approach: Research approach is recognised as another important component of the
study as it plays an imperative role in the growth and success operations of the investigation. The
key significance of research approach is that, it is an important aspect which refers as the plan
and procedure which consists of the stages of broad assumptions to descriptive tools of
information accumulation, analysis and interpretation (. Startsev, 2020). It is therefore,
encompasses over the character of the research issue which is considered to be resolve by the
help of execution an investigation. This section of investigation is mainly relay over two aspects
like deductive and inductive research approach. Therefore, the appropriate selection of research
approach is needs to assist the overall work in right manner as it is an effective, suitable and
logical process where the outcome is mainly relay upon concordance of multiple premises that
are mainly determined to be true in nature. The appropriate selection of approach is required to
moving ahead the investigation activities in right manner via implementing suitable theories and
hypothesis which are significant for a particular analysis. For considering the present research
into appropriate action, deductive approach has been implement by the researcher as it is an
effective tool to execute the entire project in right manner via the support of implementing
information within actual facts and figures. Thus the deductive approach is supportive for
determining the importance of Temperature and Maintaining a Safe Temperature to Preserve
Nutrients in Hydrogenation process, as in this information is gather within actual facts that are
conncted to the subject area.
Research Design: It is considered the framework regarding research methods and also technique
that selected through an investigator. It is related to overall strategy that mainly used to carry out
investigation that explains logical plan in order to tackle the research related questions by
gathering, analysis and interpretation. The research designs are of three different types such as
experimental, descriptive and exploratory (Tian, and et.al, 2019). The exploratory research
mainly seeks to generate the hypothesis through examining data set and also looking for the
potential relations among variables. This is possible to have idea regarding relation among the
variable because of lack of knowledge. Descriptive research design is an in-depth sort of the
research design whose main purpose is to answer the questions. The experimental research
