The invention provides a process for producing an alcohol, including the step of hydrogenating a glyceride in the presence of a catalyst, adding water, or a process for producing an alcohol, including the step of hydrogenating a glyceride in the presence of a catalyst and in the presence of from 0.5 or more of water per mole of the starting glyceride.

Process for producing alcohol

The present disclosure provides low trans-fatty acid fat compositions, methods of hydrogenating unsaturated feedstocks (e.g., oils), and hydrogenation catalyst compositions. One exemplary method involves producing a catalyst composition by heating a nickel-based catalyst to a first temperature of at least about 85° C in the presence of hydrogen and a fat component. An unsaturated feedstock may be contacted with the catalyst composition and hydrogenated by sustaining a hydrogenation reaction at a second temperature of no greater than about 700 C. Some specific implementations of the invention permit the production of partially hydrogenated seed oils with low trans-fatty acid contents.

Low trans-fatty acid fat compositions; low-temperature hydrogenation, e.g., of edible oils

Disclosed is a particle-bearing composite comprising a solid carrier and polymer-protected particles adsorbed thereon, wherein the polymer has a number average molecular weight of 3,000 to 300,000 and the particles are of a metal and/or a metal compound. The particle-bearing composite of the present invention is produced by a method in which a polymer-protected colloidal dispersion, which is comprised of a dispersion medium, colloidal metallic particles and/or metal compound particles dispersed in the dispersion medium and a protective polymer having a number average molecular weight of 3,000 to 300,000 and serving as a protective colloid for protecting the colloidal particles, is contacted with a solid carrier. The particle-bearing composite of the present invention can exhibit excellent catalytic performances with high reproducibility when used as an active component-bearing type catalyst, and can also be advantageously used in the fields of electric and magnetic materials because the metallic particles and/or metal compound particles uniformly borne by the solid carrier in the particle-bearing composite of the present invention can exert excellent electric and magnetic performances.

This disclosure describes select low trans-fatty acid fats and fat compositions and methods of making such fats and fat compositions. These fats and fat compositions achieve properties commonly associated with typical partially hydrogenated fats, but avoid the high trans-fatty acid contents typically associated with such fats.
