Q. Dalda is prepared from oils by

A) Oxidation
B) Reduction
C) Hydrolysis
D) Distillation
Explanation

(b)
Oils (liquid glycerides) react with hydrogen in the presence of metal catalyst (like nickel) to give saturated glycerides (semi-solid glycerides) i.e., fats. Thus, vegetable ghee (dalda) is obtained by the hydrogenation (reduction) of oils.
Oils + H_{2} ⟶ dalda
