Dalda is prepared from oils by

A
oxidation
Correct answer
B
reduction
C
hydrolysis
D
distillation

Solution

Oils (liquid glycerides) react with hydrogen in the presence of metal catalyst (like nickel) to give saturated glycerides (semi-solid glycerides) fats. Thus, vegetable ghee (Dalda) is obtained by the hydrogenation (reduction) of oils. Oils $+\mathrm{H}_{2} \longrightarrow$Dalda

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
