Canola oil was hydrogenated under selective and nonselective conditions with commercial nickel catalysts. The composition of the hydrogenated oils was characterized by iodine value, fatty acid composition, trans ‐isomer content and cis, cis ‐methylene interrupted (CCMI) polyunsaturated fatty acids. Selectivity ratios and hydrogenation rates were calculated. Selective conditions resulted in high levels of trans ‐isomers. Loss of CCMI fatty acids occurred in the early stages of the hydrogenation process. Hydrogenation rates were higher under selective than under nonselective conditions.
