English term or phrase: trans fat

Trans fatty acids, also known as trans fat, is an artery-clogging fat that is formed when vegetable oils are hardened into margarine or shortening. It is found in many other foods besides margarine and shortening, however, including fried foods like french fries and fried chicken, doughnuts, cookies, pastries and crackers. In the United States, typical french fries have about 40 percent trans fatty acids and many popular cookies and crackers range from 30 percent to 50 percent trans fatty acids. Doughnuts have about 35 percent to 40 percent trans fatty acids.

Multumesc. La inceput ma gandeam sa le zic "grasimi hidrogenate", asa cum s-a sugerat in glosarul de spaniola, dar apoi am vazut definitia si mi-am dat seama ca nu presupun neaparat un proces artificial de hidrogenare, se gasesc si in alim. in stare naturala. Multumesc si lui Ciprian si elenus pt. confirmari.
