Write a brief note on hydrogenation.
Hydrogenation is the process where hydrogen atoms bind to the double bond of a compound, facilitating its conversion to a single bond, in the presence of a catalyst. The process is commonly employed to reduce or saturate organic compounds. In this process, triglycerides are treated with hydrogen under pressure in the presence of Ni at 180°C.
