About Shortening, multipurpose, soybean (hydrogenated) and palm (hydrogenated)

Shortening is a solid fat product made by hydrogenating vegetable oils such as soybean and palm to improve shelf life and texture. Widely used in Indian kitchens, it serves as a multipurpose fat for deep-frying, baking, and as a cooking medium. This type of shortening is solid at room temperature due to hydrogenation and provides a high amount of energy solely from fat content.

It contains minimal or no protein, carbohydrates, or fiber and generally lacks vitamins except trace amounts such as vitamin A from added fortification. Its mineral contributions are very low, with negligible sodium unless salt is added. Hydrogenated shortenings contain trans fats, but these estimates do not specify trans fat content.

This shortening is vegan as it contains no animal products. It is primarily used for its ability to impart desirable texture and shelf life in snacks and sweets. Users should be aware of its high calorie density and fat content.
