Solution

Vegetable and vanaspati oil:

  • Vanaspati is a term used in modern Indian markets to describe hydrogenated and hardened vegetable oil.
  • Vanaspati ghee is a less expensive alternative to clarified butter made from milk.

Gas used for making vegetables and vanaspati:

  • Vegetables and vanaspati are made from vegetable oils using hydrogen gas.
  • It's added to oils to make products more solid or spreadable because it's a translucent, odourless, tasteless, combustible gaseous material.
  • As a result, hydrogen gas is employed in the production of vegetable oil and vanaspati.
