In the process of fat hydrogenation, hydrogen atoms are added to the Carbon part of the molecule.

The process of hydrogenation as the name implies is characterized by the addition of hydrogen atoms to a molecule.

Hydrogenation occurs in fat molecules as a result of the presence of double and sometimes triple bonds between carbon atoms in the carbon chain of fat molecules.

Fats with double and triple bonds in their carbon chain are termed unsaturated and upon hydrogenation become saturated and are referred to as Hydrogenated fats.

The hydrogen atoms are added on the tetravalent Carbon part of the molecule in a process of fat hydrogenation.
